Jul 27, 2021 | 4:31 PM
As warmer weather continues to present itself during the summer months, ticks will continue to present themselves in more places than just wooded areas. With this in mind, state officials held a news conference this afternoon to discuss the amount and types of ticks found in Pennsylvania as well as how residents can prevent tick bites.
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Patrick McDonnell said that 5,000 adult black-legged ticks were discovered across Pennsylvania through a survey conducted in the spring, and 58 percent of those carried Lyme Disease. He adds that there are other types of ticks out there and that the DEP is continuing to study them.
Comments Off on PENNSYLVANIA: 1,000 Electric Vehicle Chargers Placed Statewide
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, June 29, 2021 (ENS) – Patrick McDonnell, who heads Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection, DEP, is celebrating the fact that 1,000 Level 2 electric vehicle chargers have been installed across the state, especially in small towns, with funding from the DEP Driving PA Forward program.
The Level 2 program is one of eight Driving PA Forward programs that are using Pennsylvania’s $118.5 million settlement from the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal to drive the transition toward zero-emission and low-emission vehicles and equipment and accelerate installation of related infrastructure.
Driving PA Forward is investing the maximum amount allowed by the settlement to support charging infrastructure – nearly $17 million.

Extreme weather events such as flash floods, intense heat waves, and rising temperatures, all could become more frequent and severe in Pennsylvania by mid-century if current trends continue, according to a recent report.
“No one can expect Pennsylvanians’ lives to stay as they are now,” Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Patrick McDonnell said.
The Pennsylvania Climate Impacts Assessment is a report the DEP produces every three years, as directed by the Pennsylvania Climate Change Act (Act 70) of 2008.
The report is sourced using federal, state and local data from Penn State University, ICF Consulting, and Hamel Environmental Consulting and funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy through the State Energy Program.
