Residents Criticize Lack of Direct Notification for Tank Farm Leak
Kathy Cole expressed frustration over the lack of direct notification from the township or the company regarding the tank farm leak, stating she found out via Facebook and the news. She highlighted that her child still waits for a bus near the tank and she doesn't know if there's a risk. Township officials explained their process involved posting information on the Aston Township website and then directing residents to Monroe's website, while acknowledging that direct notification might have been better. Residents also mentioned that Bethany and Chester Townships provided letters, and inquiries to the DEP were dismissed.
