THIS DAY IN HISTORY - July 3
Battle of Gettysburg ends 1863
On the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s last attempt at breaking the Union line ends in disastrous failure, bringing the most decisive battle of the American Civil War to an end.
In June 1863, following his masterful victory at the Battle of Chancellorsville, General Lee launched his second invasion of the Union in less than a year. He led his 75,000-man Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River, through Maryland, and into Pennsylvania, seeking to win a major battle on Northern soil that would further dispirit the Union war effort and induce Britain or France to intervene on the Confederacy’s behalf. The 90,000-strong Army of the Potomac pursued the Confederates into Maryland, but its commander, General Joseph Hooker, was still stinging from his defeat at Chancellorsville and seemed reluctant to chase Lee further. Meanwhile, the Confederates divided their forces and investigated various targets, such as Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania capital.
On June 28, President Abraham Lincoln replaced Hooker with General George Meade, and Lee learned of the presence of the Army of the Potomac in Maryland. Lee ordered his army to concentrate in the vicinity of the crossroads town of Gettysburg and prepare to meet the Federal army. At the same time, Meade sent ahead part of his force into Pennsylvania but intended to make a stand at Pipe Creek in Maryland.

Clean Fill Environmental Hearing
Pen Argyl, PA – State Senator Mario Scavello will host an upcoming public hearing with the Senate Majority Policy Committee to discuss the Commonwealth’s clean fill and regulated fill standards.
The hearing will take place on Monday, July 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Wind Gap Middle School (1620 Teels Road, Wind Gap, PA). Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Due to its close proximity to New York and New Jersey, Pennsylvania’s northeast region receives a high volume of out-of-state fill material. In particular, clean fill is being disposed of in the Slate Belt region of Northampton County in abandoned slate quarries. Fill material contains various levels of allowed contaminants and is classified either as “clean” or, where higher levels of contaminants exist, “regulated.”
According to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), clean fill includes soil, rock, stone, dredged material, used asphalt and brick, block or concrete from construction and demolition activities.
As dumping activities have increased in the region, so have concerns over the environmental impact to these sites and surrounding areas.
“Many residents and elected officials in my Senate District have raised concerns over the dumping of out-of-state fill material in our region,” said Senator Scavello. “I share the same concerns over the sheer volume of fill activity occurring in my district and its potential environmental impact, so I requested this hearing to fully evaluate the Commonwealth’s environmental standards and ensure our residents are protected.”
The hearing will review concerns and testimony from the PA DEP, local municipal leaders, area residents, business leaders and industry representatives. Individuals from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection are also invited.
For further information, please visit www.senatorscavello.com or contact the Senator’s district office at 570-620-4326
