She said that tests for nuclear radiation, ex plosive vapors and odors were negative, but that a "tar material" was found in the drums. Water samples from the nearby stream, showed "no detectable levels" of con tamination, she noted. Bids are currently being reviewed by the Department of Environmental Resources for an air stripping tower that would remove trichoroethylene and other volatile organic chemicals now seeping into the wells used by the Capitol Cam pus and the Harrisburg Interna tional Airport, according to Lombard. The tower was delayed because D.E.R. initial ly failed to provide for com petitive bidding, Lombard said. A test for contaminants con ducted for the Student Govern ment Association (S.G.A.) in November, 1984, showed hard ness levels above those allowed by the Safe Drinking Water Act, but all other contaminants sampled were within acceptable limits. However, Richard Morgan, a D.E.R. sanitarian, told the Capitol Times that levels of trichloroethylene, iron, manganese and sulfates have exceeded recommended limits in the past. He said that other contaminants such as heavy metals have been detected but are within accepted limits. The Meade Heights site is one of six in the Middletown area identified by the Air Force as possible sources of ground water contamination. - 5 in Mathematical Science - 9 in Humanities -14 in Social Science -18 in Civil Engineering Technology. -14 in Electrical Design Technology. -16 in Mechanical Design Technology.
