LOCKPORT The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency resumed work this week on the demolition of the former Flintkote plant on Mill Street in Lockport.

The plant, which was partially torn down last fall, is believed to be one of the primary sources of pollution in Eighteen Mile Creek, which flows from Lockport to Lake Ontario.

The entire creek corridor has been declared a federal Superfund site. The EPA last fall bought five homes on Water Street in Lockport, whose back yards bordered the creek, and the residents were relocated.

EPA spokesman Michael Basile said the boarded-up houses will be torn down this year, and a chain-link fence will encircle the site.

Basile said the location of the former Water Street homes may be used as a staging area for future cleanup work.

Meanwhile, the demolition of Flintkote is targeted to be complete by the end of May, Basile said.

The hope is that we will have the walls down. There may still be debris piles (in late May), he said.

Mayor Anne E. McCaffrey said the demolition will be followed by more soil testing at the site.

Basile said subsequent work will depend on what we find and dont find after the Flintkote building is gone.

The former building materials plant was abandoned after a 1971 fire. The City of Lockport could have foreclosed on it for many years because of unpaid property taxes, but declined to do so because it feared being stuck with the cleanup bill.

It may not be evident from the outside, but work to demolish the former Souderton Area High School has already begun.

As of now, we are pretty well completed with the first step, which is removal of asbestos, Tim Hendricks, of American Real Estate, said March 30.

Work to disconnect public utilities is also in process, he said.

Within 10 days to two weeks, physical demolition of the building should be under way, Hendricks said. Were looking at three months from start of demolition to completion.

Work has also begun to remove items such as lighting fixtures and light bulbs that must be removed before the demolition, he said.

Permission was given for the removal of sentimental items that had remained in the building, he said.

Items of value to be reused were previously removed, he said.

Whats left is of no consequential value, so that becomes part of the demolition trash, Hendricks said.

Souderton Borough Manager Mike Coll said he met March 18 with representatives of Trego Excavating, of Lionville, the company doing the excavation work.

The demolition area will be fenced off and there will be other requirements for the work, including that there be tire cleaning areas so trucks leaving the site do not track dirt out onto the roads, he said. Continued...
