    Karen Leidy, Lebanon, 429-9763, 724-910-7500 cell - moved to Lebanon from PA 3 wk ago, substance running alongside house resembles raw sewage, dog was in ravine, had to clean him up, got it on her hands, disgusting, in S/D on septic but not regular, community sewage, haven't been able to reach anyone in the local dept, wondering if the substance could be tested, if the EPA takes any measure in doing that, it smells bad & is disgusting & it is running on her property, she is very upset. - original complaint by voice mail
    could not reach her at either #
    called Jim Stinnett, Adenus Operations - not one of their systems
    finally reached Ms Liedy - told her that due to it being late on Fri, we couldn't do anything today. asked her to call Lebanon Public Works for assistance & gave her the #.
    She said someone had been out earlier - possibly from the City. She didn't get a name. He saw something bubbling out of the ground. He didn't know where the lines went u/s from there & would have to research that. - MRT 8/3/07
