DEC: Drilling Company Polluted
Stream in Allegany State Park
New York environmental regulators are seeking $187,500 in fines against a gas-drilling company for polluting a stream in Allegany State Park.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has filed an administrative complaint against U.S. Energy, saying that storm water runoff from the company’s roads and well pads in the Allegheny National Forest washed a large amount of mud into nearby waterways, including Yeager Creek in the state park.
DEC also is requiring US Energy to install storm water and erosion controls to prevent any future water quality damage.
