NORRISTOWN - Remediation and demolition work at a former 12.88-acre  
industrial site off Washington Street, downstream from the Norristown  
Sewage Treatment plant, is expected to be completed by this summer.

An official certification of the asbestos remediation work at the  
site at 500 and 600 E. Washington St. by the state Department of  
Environmental Protection (DEP) is expected by March 31, 2013, said  
Jerry Nugent, the executive director of the Montgomery County  
Redevelopment Authority (MCRA).

The MCRA purchased the site last year for $3.7 million with the  
expectation that eventually the site could be used to relocate the  
Norristown Sewage Treatment plant downstream from its present  
location. The old treatment plant has experienced sewage overflows in

to use the land for new construction.
