The Department of Environmental Protection will hold a public hearing on the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act cleanup plan for the Pool Doctor-Beaver Alkali Products Site in Rochester, Beaver County September 4. (July 20 PA Bulletin, page 3803)
The Site consists of many drums of unknown liquids and solids that are corroded and leaking. These drums were associated with a swimming pool chemical business and laboratory that operated out of the buildings located on the property.
Currently, the buildings are in a state of dilapidation and disrepair. The roofs of two buildings where the drums are located are collapsing. One of the buildings almost completely collapsed the week of June 24, 2019,
The Department initiated a prompt interim response and work began at the Site on July 1, 2019.
