WARMINSTER, PA – Hope Grosse and Joanne Stanton have fond memories of the childhood they shared in the Philadelphia suburbs. They spent their days outside playing football, riding bikes and — when the Blue Angels came to town — they watched the skies.
For kids in Horsham and Warminster Townships, that was just one of the perks of growing up near two active military bases.

Toggleblok valve, the only true solar smart valve for stopping pollution run off in under 10 seconds. Designing Fire water and spill containment solutions to prevent water pollution. Fit Toggleblok not penstock
5 年This is awful to read as it’s shows years of negligence. After the UK Buncefield fire in 2005 the impact of polluted runoff has destroyed water supplies. I’m not able to help the legacy pollution but CIRIA736 which is U.K. BAT for water pollution; if used and understood will prevent pollution legacy for the future. Much of these legacy pollution events are due to poor or non existent water pollution control. No1 issue is sites fit penstock valves to stop the pollution release. Do they all stop flow? No they don’t If you don’t accept pollution risk, you are the pollution risk. Happy to help anyone stop these disaster impacting the environment.
