Hearing set on Rostraver landfill permit to dump treated leachate into river

Leachate overflows from a leachate equalization tank during an inspection by the state Department of Environmental Protection in August 2022. The leachate collection site is load-out area at Westmoreland Sanitary Landfill in Rostraver.

A Penn Township environmental organization is opposing a draft permit the state has issued to a Rostraver landfill operator that wants to pipe treated leachate from its garbage dump into the Monongahela River.
