Information On Questions About

The Brush Creek (PA) Sewage Project





GAO reviewed questions raised by a citizens
group about the Brush Creek Sewage Project
in Marshall Township, Pennsylvania. The ques-
tions primarily involved the (1) need for the
system, (2) approval process, and (3) eco-
nomic burden on residents.

It is questionable whether the need for the
project was adequately demonstrated before
the 1973 decision to construct sewers. The
Environmental Protection Agency relied on
the State's certification that the project was
required, without verifying the need, as would
be required today.

Local property owners state that paying for
the system will create a financial hardship for
them even with Federal assistance. Since the
project is finished, little can be done, but EPA
is reviewing some costs to see if additional
Federal funding might be made available.
