Eureka Resources Charged with 7 Crimes for PA Wastewater Leaks

The troubles continue to pile up for Eureka Resources and its now-closed frack wastewater treatment facilities in Pennsylvania — two in Lycoming County and one in Bradford County. In March, the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) assessed two fines against Eureka for violations of cleanup deadlines at two facilities, totaling $100,000 (see PA DEP Fines Eureka Resources $100K for Wastewater Violations). Eureka has not paid the fines, and the DEP has given the company 10 days to pay, "or else." But that's not all. PA Attorney General Dave Sunday recently filed seven criminal charges against Eurkea related to its now-closed facility in Bradford County.
