What is the difference between the investigation being conducted by PADEP at the Erie Coke facility and EPA’s Study Area?

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) continues to investigate the level and extent of potential contamination in surface water, soil, sediment, and subsurface groundwater at the Erie Coke facility. The current EPA East Avenue Study Area is focused on the soil conditions of the community and residential areas surrounding the former coke facility, but not the facility itself. PADEP and EPA continue to collaborate and coordinate efforts related to the two separate areas of investigation.
