PA DEP Orders Eureka Resources to Remove Waste at Williamsport Plant

Just as we were heading out the door last week for a couple of days off, news broke that a now-idled frack wastewater treatment plant, a Eureka Resources facility in Williamsport, PA, had sprung a leak in a tank and that some of the fluid had entered a storm drain, making its way to the Susquehanna River (see ‘Black Goop’ Spills into Susquehanna River from Closed Eureka Plant). We have updates to that story, including administrative orders logged against Eureka by the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and news that the DEP had issued a notice of violation against the facility just 10 days before the leak occurred.
