EPA Reaches Deal With Pennsylvania Sewer Authority
A wastewater authority in Pennsylvania reached an $82 million deal with the federal government after it allegedly released eight million gallons of raw sewage into the Susquehanna River and Paxton Creek over six years, the Pennsylvania Record reported.
“The upgrades will significantly reduce discharges of nitrogen pollution from the plant, which is currently the largest point-source of nitrogen pollution to the Susquehanna River,” an agency official said. Capital Region Water must also come up with a plan for decreasing overflows in the future,” the EPA announced.
