Due to former operations, contamination was found in the groundwater underneath the Site. The property owner conducted a cleanup at the Site according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) requirements, which included providing treatment units to residential wells. Recently PADEP has provided a more permanent solution by connecting those residents to a public water supply. EPA is investigating the possibility of TCE-contaminated vapor intrusion, in association with the known contaminated groundwater. 1.1.2.1 Location Perkasie, PA 1.1.2.2 Description of Threat Potential Inhalation of VOCs from groundwater contaminated with TCE. 1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results Not available yet. 2. Current Activities   2.1 Operations Section     2.1.1 Narrative During the week of October 26 – October 30, EPA representatives conducted a door-to-door outreach as a follow up to vapor intrusion sub-slab sampling request letters sent to 20 residents on October 15. The sampling request letters were sent to those residences where historic groundwater sampling data indicated that TCE-contaminated soil-gas may exist. Approximately 65 Site-specific fact sheets were distributed to the community, not just the 20 targeted residences, which provided a description of the VI assessment, a brief Site background and EPA contact information. On November 16, 2009 EPA will start collecting air samples from the sub-slabs at residences where a "Consent for Access to Property" form was signed. Fifteen out of twenty targeted residences are currently listed for this sampling event. 2.1.2 Response Actions to Date No response actions have been taken since the laboratory results have not been received yet. 2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) 2.1.4 Progress Metrics Waste Stream Medium Quantity Manifest # Treatment Disposal                                       2.2 Planning Section     2.2.1 Anticipated Activities The laboratory results will be available within a few weeks after the samples are taken. 2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities If VOCs related to the groundwater contramination are found at concentrations of concern, a vapor extraction system will be installed. 2.2.1.2 Next Steps Once the laboratory results are received they will be evaluated to determine the need of a Removal Action. 2.2.2 Issues None   2.3 Logistics Section     No information available at this time.   2.4 Finance Section     No information available at this time.   2.5 Other Command Staff     No information available at this time. 3.
