Army Reserve Base
The Army continues to work with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other government officials to develop a strategy to address PFOS and PFOA at many of its properties. The potential acquisition of this property by Worcester Township is on hold until an agreed-upon strategy is developed.
[UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 6, 2022] To date the Army has tested thirty-four properties near the former North Penn Army Reserve Base at Berks Road. The Army tested for the presence of PFOS and PFOA, chemicals that were used during firefighting training exercises at the property many years ago. Of the thirty-four properties tested, twenty-two properties tested below the EPA's heath advisory limit, four properties tested above this limit, and no trace of the chemicals was detected at eight properties. The Army has reported its findings to the property owners and to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). As the property owner the US Army is responsible for any clean-up that may be required by the EPA and DEP. The Federal and State governments have not yet established standards for PFOA/PFOS clean-up. Until this is done, the Federal Government will not proceed with remediating any contamination at the site. As of now, the Township has no timeline of when the Federal and State governments will establish the needed standards. Once the Township is informed of any plans to move forward, we will update this page.
Comprehensive Plan Update
The Worcester Township Comprehensive Plan serves as the primary planning guide for our community. The Comprehensive Plan helps to guide growth and land preservation, natural resource protection, traffic management, infrastructure improvement, the provision of utilities, fiscal sustainability, and other issues that affect our community.
[UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 6, 2022] State Law requires every municipality to review its comprehensive plans every ten years, and Worcester Township has started this process. In 2020 the Board of Supervisors appointed a 17-member Task Force to prepare and recommended updates to the plan. The Task Force met throughout the months that followed, and sent its recommended plan to the Worcester Township Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has reviewed the plan, and will meet with the Board of Supervisors in a Joint Meeting at 6:30pm on September 21 to discuss the plan. Residents are welcome and encouraged to attend this meeting.
