The program will feature Dr. David Argent, professor of wildlife and fisheries biology at PennWest; Rick Spear, aquatic biologist supervisor for the Department of Environmental Protection; and Dr. Michael Slaven, environmental historian at PennWest.
They will discuss what the disaster means for the environment, specifically the people, plants and animals near the crash site, and highlight some of the biological monitors used to assess the threat to the region.
“We will provide a timeline of activities and summarize what has happened to date,” Argent said. “(Spear) will summarize his agency’s response to the situation, the potential impact to Pennsylvania waters, and what, if any, regulatory violations may have occurred.”
The community is welcome to attend in person at Frich Hall 202 on the PennWest California campus or Click Here to register to attend online.
The program is sponsored by PennWest’s American Democracy Project, a multi-campus initiative focused on higher education's role in preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy.
