DEP Imposes Penalty After Explosion
The state DEP has imposed a $32,000 penalty against Huntley & Huntley of Monroeville for the July 23 tank explosion at a gas well that killed two people.
The civil penalty is part of a consent order and agreement to resolve violations of the Oil and Gas Act and the Solid Waste Management Act, according to a news release.
An oil storage tank at a company gas well site in Indiana Township exploded,
releasing small amounts of oil and other liquids and causing the well head and nearby production facilities to catch fire. The tank that exploded was propelled into the air, landing about 150 feet away.
56-year-old Andy Yosurack of Creekside and 46-year-old Kevin Henry of New Florence died in the explosion.
