You are invited to a public meeting to discuss the cleanup of Metachem Products, LLC

Thursday, June 13, 2002

7:00 PM

Location:
Delaware City Fire Company
150 Clinton Street
Delaware City, Delaware

Representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Delaware Department of Natural Resources (DNREC) will discuss the cleanup of Metachem Products LLC Facility located on Governor Lea Road.

As a result of Bankruptcy proceedings, EPA and DNREC have taken over the cleanup of the facility. Officials are identifying the chemicals that may pose a risk to human health and the environment. This process is necessary before a long-term cleanup can be developed.

For more information, please feel free to contact Vance Evans of EPA at (215) 814-5526 or Marjorie Crofts of DNREC at (302) 739-4764.
