A work plan to clean up the trichloroethylene contamination along Church 
Road in Wright Township will be made public March 25.

That's when the Environmental Protection Agency is scheduled to approve 
the restoration plan for the Foster Wheeler/Church Road TCE site cleanup 
project. On that date, the plan will be explained to the public at a 
meeting of the Mountain Top Environmental Oversight Board at 6:30 p.m. 
in the St. Jude Elementary School library. The oversight board is a 
community advisory group working with EPA and Foster Wheeler to keep 
residents involved.

About 37 homes on Church Road are affected by the groundwater 
contamination, which originated at the former Foster Wheeler Energy 
Corp. site in Crestwood Industrial Park. The company operated from 1953

During the meeting, residents affected by the trichloroethylene 
contamination also can learn how their homes will be tested for vapor 
intrusion of the chemical.
