Eureka Proposes Plan to Clean Up, Close All 3 PA Wastewater Plants

On August 17, Eureka Resources' Williamsport Second Street facility (one of the three previously operated by Eureka) leaked some of its stored untreated wastewater, which ended up in the nearby Susquehanna River via a storm drain (see ‘Black Goop’ Spills into Susquehanna River from Closed Eureka Plant). That event led to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection launching an investigation into all three of Eureka's shuttered plants, two in Williamsport (Lycoming County), and one in Bradford County. The DEP found untreated wastewater stored at each facility---over 4.6 million gallons in total---and has demanded Eureka dispose of it within 90 days.
