DEP Says 'No' To Act 537 Plan
The state Department of Environmental Protection has rejected the update to the city's sewage transfer infrastructure, saying that there's not an agreement on the plan between the city and the surrounding municipalities.
DEP says it won't accept the plan until the city, Bradford and Foster townships and Lewis Run agree on terms for the plant expansion and funding commitment.
Township and Lewis Run officials say they don't want to raise their residents' rates because they don't contribute to the problem with the sewage system.
DEP has given the municipalities 90 days to come up with a draft of an agreement.
