A reader said she has noticed brown swathes of dead
trees, shrubs, and plants along the roadsides, particularly Routes 1, 52, and 926, and wonders what is going on.
"Is this PennDot spraying chemicals as part of road maintenance? During the day?
(when we travel to work and breathe it in through our car vents?)" she asks. "We drove to Lancaster this weekend and all along route 1 there is a band of
dead brown trees, shrubs, weeds; also along developments and watersheds (Elk
Creek water preservation) which concerns me."
I've noticed these dead patches, too, but assumed they were due to road salt. Perhaps someone has a better answer to her concerns.
