In response to local concerns, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection conducted a multi-year data collection study to measure the levels of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) emanating from agricultural properties at multiple locations within the Township.
The purpose of the study was to commission the collected data into a Letter Health Consultation report, primarily generated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, to assess the potential health impact of the measured levels of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in New Garden Township and inform the community.
The following are the links to the Letter Health Consultation Report provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Health in regards to the health impact of measured levels of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in New Garden Township.
