Public comments are invited on Aqua's PFAS remediation project for 30 days.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. (Aqua) is pursuing PENNVEST funding for a Pennsylvania PFAS remediation project.
Aqua proposes to remediate a well station in Northeastern PA to remove PFAS. The well station that will be remediated in the PWSID PA2400095 system is the Oak Hill Well Station. Ion Exchange (IX) technology will be utilized to adsorb the PFOS and PFOA compounds.
All proposed work will be contained to the existing well site within well maintained, previously disturbed areas.
The estimated total project cost for this work is $3,500,000. If approved, the cost will be financed through a PENNVEST grant/loan and the annual debt service will be paid by water service charges to all Aqua customers. Rates are not expected to be increased due to this project.
A request has been made to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Projection to categorically exclude this project from the State Environmental Review Process (SERP). This request is being made because the proposed project is not expected to cause significant environmental consequences during or after the project's construction. The project is being considered for a Categorical Exclusion from environmental review requirements, which is required to apply for PENNVEST funding.
The public may submit written comments on the proposed project for a period of 30 days from the date of advertisement. The general public may review the proposed project plans at Aqua's office from 8:00 AM-4:30 PM Monday through Friday and may provide comments to Mr. Brennan Kelly, Senior Engineer, Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. at 762 W. Lancaster Avenue Bryn Mawr, PA 19010. Aqua will respond to any comments before taking any action on the project.
