The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has levied a $33,065 fine against Herbert and Marion Hasbrouck and Hasbrouck Sand and Gravel Inc., Titusville, Pa., for violations of the state’s Solid Waste Management Act related to the improper handling and disposal of scrap tires.
“Proper disposal of waste is essential to preserving the quality of Pennsylvania’s air, land and water,” says Kelly Burch, the DEP’s Northwest regional director. “The Solid Waste Management Act provides a mechanism for DEP to monitor and enforce appropriate disposal methods.”
On Jan. 11, 2012, DEP issued an administrative order to Herbert Hasbrouck and Marion Hasbrouck and Hasbrouck Sand and Gravel to immediately cease transport of solid waste to the property, remove any remaining waste tires and waste ash and submit receipts indicating proper disposal.
DEP conducted a final follow-up inspection at the property on March 8 and concluded that all conditions of the administrative order were met.
