Residents press township on U.S. 322 safety and haz‑mat cleanup at Forge Road roundabout
Summary
Residents urged South Londonderry supervisors to reduce speeds on U.S. 322, add sidewalks and complete cleanup of soy material from a hazardous‑material spill at the Forge Road roundabout; township manager said DEP notified the trucking company about cleanup plans.
During public comment at the Sept. 10 South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors meeting, resident Pat Krebs raised multiple safety concerns along U.S. 322 — calling for lower speed limits and pointing to a lack of sidewalks and crosswalks — and asked when soy material from a recent hazardous‑material spill at the Forge Road roundabout would be removed.
Mark Houser, another resident, said the trucking company responsible for the spill would be the party tasked with cleanup. Township Manager John Eberly responded that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has notified the trucking company and sent a letter advising of cleanup plans.
Krebs also supplied photos of shrubs and trees in the riparian buffer at Campbelltown Community Park and suggested options for township assistance to maintain those plantings. The minutes do not record a formal board response or an action plan from supervisors at the meeting; the item remained in public comment with confirmation that DEP had engaged the responsible party.
The public comment portion of the meeting was otherwise brief. No formal township policy change or new roadwork schedule was adopted at the Sept. 10 meeting; any follow‑up would depend on DEP and subsequent township direction or staff action.
