In Summer 2024, we learned of a potential chemical contamination originating at a privately owned site adjacent to the Garden and the Bartram's Mile Trail. According to the PA Department of Health and our independent test results, most park users are at very low risk for exposure. On May 22, we received the following agenda from the property owner for tonight's public meeting: 1. Introductions and Opening Remarks 2. PowerPoint Presentation: a. Site Location, History, and Status b. Contaminants Identified at the Site c. Contaminant Exposure Elimination d. Remediation Plans e. Protective Measures Pre-Development f. Protective Measures Post-Development g. Response to 30-Day Public Comments h. Project Schedule 3. Q&A See you there!
