HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection 
plans to clean up a hazardous waste site in the Elrama section of Union 
Township, according to state Rep. David Levdansky, D-Forward Township.

"From 1995 to 2004, various businesses operated out of the building at 
28 Davidson Avenue, the most recent being The Classic Auto Restoration 
Services, also known as CARS," Levdansky explained. "Since 2004, this 
building has been abandoned, along with chemicals used in the 
electroplating process.

"For nearly five years, DEP has tried to keep this dilapidated building 
sealed and the public away from the site due to the contamination by 
padlocking the doors, yet trespassers continue to break in. I am pleased 
to report that funding is now available to tear down the building and 
remove contaminated soil in the area."
