PA DEP: Spill Cleanup at Eureka Williamsport Plant Nearly Complete

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). Two weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) provided an update on the cleanup of the spill to say half of the leaked wastewater had already been recovered (see PA DEP Reports Half of Eureka 16,000 Gal. Wastewater Leak Recovered). We have a new update: nearly all of what spilled that can be gathered, has been collected.
