Pennsylvania DEP Says Equitrans Still Defying Cleanup Order at Greene County Impoundment
Original: DEP - Day 119: Contaminated Water Discharges Continue, Failure To Comply With Cleanup Order At Equitrans Water SVC [EQT] Richter Impoundment In Greene County
Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection reports that 119 days after issuing a cleanup order, Equitrans Water Services has yet to comply at the Richter impoundment in Greene County, with contaminated water discharges continuing. Environmental advocates and regional outlets are highlighting the prolonged inaction, raising questions about enforcement against the natural gas company and the ongoing risk to local waterways and nearby communities.
Why now: State regulators are publicly escalating pressure on Equitrans over a months-old, unmet cleanup order at a shale gas wastewater impoundment.
