Business Owners Up The Creek
Some business owners in Bucks County are up You-Know-What Creek without a paddle.
The Department of Environmental Protection today ordered the owners of Parx Casino and Parx Racing facilities in Bensalem to clean up their site to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
“More than 1,200 horses are being kept on a property where manure-laden stormwater and wastewater continually impact the Neshaminy Creek watershed,” said DEP Southeast Regional Director Joseph A. Feola. “This untenable situation must end.”
The department’s order requires the owners of both operations to complete many short- and long-term projects that will stabilize the site and eliminate environmental threats.
Within the next two weeks, the racetrack owners must stop washing manure into storm grates, implement a water conservation plan, improve their efforts to collect and manage wastewater, and inspect their stormwater and sanitary sewage systems weekly.
