Notice the biosolids laying on top of the ground? According to DEP regulations this material is supposed to be turned into the ground when it's spread. Instead it is left there to rot, destroying the quality of air we breathe and drawing germ and bacteria carrying flies. Hey, it's okay, they brought in machines to mask the odor. The air STINKS!!! I don't care how you try, you can not mask the odor of sewage. Sewage is exactly what is laying out in the open field, up on that hill.
Why follow the law or regulations when you have politicians that don't know their butt from first base backing you up? Why follow the law when DEP Moshannon takes your complaint and then turns them over to the contractor? Why have a complaint department if all they are going to do is give your personal information to the contractor? Who will be held responsible for the retaliation of the contractor against citizens filing complaints? These contractors have not followed the law since the first load was hauled in and dumped up on the hill.
Hey Bruno, is this the lush green grass you were talking about when you were touting the benefits of Biosolids?

I can be bought. Where's my pay off? The only thing I got, in a conversation was "Well, if you know what's good for ya, keep the complaints under your hat. We don't need ya up here complaining, you can be gotten rid of."
Did you report these people to someone with a backbone and some authority? A threat like that isn't to be taken lightly. A civil lawsuit would get rid of them real fast. Obviously, the only way to hurt these people is in the wallet. Sue the shit (no pun intended) out of them.
Rumor has it.. Mr. Najaka has resigned from White Ash and the Sullivan Co. Conservation Dist.
There has to be a location in the eastern portion of the old Connell Deep Mine Complex where this sludge is liquefying and getting into the ground water. So far as I can tell, from years of trying to GET UNDER BERNICE, the drift openings were sealed off and pipes installed for drainage a long time ago. The deepest of these drifts, slopes, whatever you want to call them, were made by Connell, O'Boyle and Murray Companies. They were all on the side of the hill toward Lopez and Thorndale, and made for the purpose of water drainage. However, there were dozens of slopes that extended toward Bernice, Murraytown, Ringdale and under Mildred. It's evident along 487 and Old Bernice Road that there were quite a few slopes that we shallow (30 to 60' below ground surface. As there are a number of known, or obvious subsidence areas that aren't properly marked off by the present land owners. In fact, the whole area should be fenced off, with warning signs, making the land they're "reclaiming", totally useless to the public... Just because the Bernice Coal Fields were among the most uncharted and unmapped for much greater than 100 years. Clearly, the poo juice is seeping down into the mine complex. Hell, they hit these drifts whenever a well was drilled in Bernice, Murray or even some places in Mildred. So, it's obvious, the water table is going to be affected. The question is, why is so much getting in, and making for impure water samples? Where is the hole? Somewhere, there has to be a large quantity of run off from the "hill", going directly into the Connell Deep Mine Complex. Does anyone have photo evidence that every mine portal, drift opening and slope is air sealed, or only the down drift portals have pipes for drainage; with no uphill (coal egress to breaker) drifts still open? Is the mule drift behind Percival's still open? There was a pile a slag in front of it, but the hole was open to about 100' in, with roof beam collapse evident. Do you have a local that can find these openings and confirm they're not funneling poo juice into ground water?
Well that's a plus that he is getting out
