Landfill Fined $9.2M for Creek Pollution | Harrisburg News
Description
A landfill owner in York County is slapped with a $9.2 million fine for repeatedly violating the Clean Water Act—over 400 times between 2019 and 2023—by dumping untreated wastewater into Kreutz Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. Republic Services knew their filtration system couldn’t handle pollutants like boron and osmotic pressure but waited until 2023 to fix it, risking harm to wildlife and humans. The case, led by the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association, marks a major win for environmental enforcement and community accountability, sending a clear message: polluting public waters won’t be tolerated.
