• UPDATE - Matamoras Borough met with PADEP and the borough's engineer is compiling the remaining items to obtain the DEP work permit. As soon as the permits are issued, work will commence by hiring a contractor and the earthwork will begin. The fill material that is stock piled for use on this project all came from the borough water main project - as excess fill. Rather than our material being sold elsewhere, the borough requested this excess material from the contractor. This saved a large part of the expense for purchasing material to complete this project. Timeframe for completion depends on when the DEP permits are issued. For the time being, we are simply waiting for these permits to be issued.
  
  Please feel free to contact the Emergency Management Office if you have any questions.
