Current Progress at the Site
A Consent Assessment was signed by Osram and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP) in March 1995. The Assessment covered the incidences of cyanide exceeding the
facility's NPDES permit requirement.

In November 1995, Osram and PADEP signed a Consent Assessment that covered a "milky white"
substance coming from the Irvine Street storm water outfall on May 9, 1995.

In July 2000, EPA performed an Environmental Indicators visit and made a determination that no
further corrective action is necessary at this time.
