on January 13, 2014 at 8:21 AM, updated January 13, 2014 at 1:12 PMToxic chemical particles could begin swirling around areas of Mercer and Burlington counties if a hazardous waste incinerator — estimated to burn 25,000 pounds of waste per day — comes to Bristol, Pa., opponents of the project say.
Route 13 Bridge Partners of King of Prussia, Pa., is seeking approval tonight from Bristol Township officials to build a 50,392-square-foot industrial waste burner on the now-defunct Rohm & Haas chemical manufacturing plant on Route 13, officials said.
The plan also calls for a 3,749-square-foot office on George Patterson Boulevard in the Bridge Business Center.
But environmentalists and area officials, concerned about its possible far-reaching health impacts, said they are doing all they can to prevent the project from coming to fruition.
