Additionally, 21 more homes in the suburban neighborhood-- between a popular pedestrian rail trail and the Susquehanna River -- will be tested for the problem in the upcoming heating season, according to information from the Department of Environmental Conservation. Homes are typically tested when windows are shut and furnaces are running, which presents a worse case scenario for chemicals to enter through foundations.
The land, near King and Birch streets, is tainted by a subterranean plume of trichloroethylene (TCE) flowing under the Parkway and the rail trail from the former Hidden Valley Electronics site -- now occupied by American Family Fitness -- about a quarter mile to the south east.
