PA DEP Clips Olympus Energy $175K for Erosion in Allegheny County

| | | | |
The Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) has done a little more fundraising to underwrite the salaries of overpaid management. The DEP fined Olympus Energy (formerly Huntley & Huntley) for $175,000 in a "civil penalty." What did Olympus do that was so egregious? After a hard rain some of the rainwater got muddy on an Olympus well pad and washed down an unnamed creek in Allegheny County. Oh, and the language on a sign posted at the pad site didn't contain some of the exact "Simon Says" language on it, including permit numbers. The shame! The horror!
