Re: Clean Streams Law Violations

Manheim Township, Lancaster County

Dear Mr. Koch,

On November 10th, 2022 the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection

(Department) conducted a complaint investigation at Manheim Township High School. During
the investigation, the Department documented a discharge of propylene glycol, a polluting
substance, to a stormwater collection system and to a UNT to Landis Run, both waters of the
Commonwealth.

The above referenced discharge constitutes a violation of Sections 401 and 402 of the Clean
Streams Law. In addition, failure to immediately notify the Department of a pollution or
potential for pollution incident is a violation of 25 PA Code § 91.33.

Within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter, the Department requests that you submit a
written report to this office describing the cause of violations and a written plan outlining any
future maintenance activities associated with the Artesian Well and Glycol system. If you find
you need more time to evaluate the situation, please contact me directly to discuss your planned
actions and to formally request an extension.
