Demand More Accessible Public Comment Process for Bishop Tube Site Remediation

On March 6, 2026, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) entered into a proposed consent decree regarding the remediation of the Bishop Tube toxic site. While PADEP, the responsible corporations and the developer have had years to discuss, assess, debate and negotiate the current remediation plan, the public is only being given a mere 60 days to review all the data and plans for the remediation, the applicable law, the contents of the consent decree, and then being expected to put forth public comment on this consent decree by a May 14th Deadline. We need you to sign our letter to demand an extended, more equitable, and more accessible public comment process for the toxic Bishop Tube site.
