Hazelton Dredge Spoils Dumping

Clean Water Action is working with citizen groups and State Representative Todd Eachus to prevent developers from using dredge spoils from river and harbor deepening projects in PA, NJ, NY and MD to fill in an abandoned mine pit in the City of Hazleton. After the closing of the mine in the 1940s, the City had used the property as a landfill. While there is no comprehensive list of what was dumped there, industrial electrical capacitors have been removed from the site, leading people to wonder if other, potentially hazardous items remain underground.

Protecting the Upper Perkiomen

Upper Perkiomen Creek Upgrade

Clean Water Action has joined with several other organizations and county and municipal agencies to support a petition to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to increase protection for the Upper Perkiomen Creek and its tributaries. The Creek and its watershed have been evaluated by the Stroud Water Research Center and found to qualify for Exceptional Value (EV) status, which would afford it the highest level of protection Pennsylvania offers.
