Governor Rendell upset by recent EPA ruling in Montco
Gov. Rendell says he is “troubled” by a recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ruling that exempts two Collegeville manufacturing plants from having to reduce trichloroethylene (TCE) emissions. TCE is a suspected carcinogen. The two plants, Superior Tube Co. and Accellent Inc., were documented in 2005 as having emitted the sixth- and eighth-highest amounts of TCE nationwide, respectively. The PA Department of Environmental Protection has detected TCE levels in the Collegeville area in amounts 5 to 10 times higher than the state’s average. At these amounts, cancer risk in surrounding areas can increase by as much as 1.6 people per 10,000. The state reached voluntary agreements with both companies: Accellent aims to reduce emissions by at least 30 percent as a result of equipment upgrades;
Superior is implementing technology changes that would result in a 30-60 percent reduction in TCE emissions. Critics of the voluntary agreement are pressing for a binding agreement. Click here for the full article.
