Key phrase: EPA will not get involved “at this point”. Also, why is Keystone just now building a new treatment plant to try to solve the ongoing groundwater contamination issue? What was stopping them for the past 12 years?

Excerpts:
“EPA is not aware of any ground water contamination or drinking water issues related to the Keystone landfill,” Mr. Garvin responded. “However, if there are specific complaints or data relative to such a problem, we would be willing to work in close cooperation with the DEP to evaluate and determine proper action to protect public health within our respective authorities.”

Michele Dempsey, a leader in the Friends of Lackawanna group opposed to the expansion, raised The Times-Tribune’s report about Keystone’s on-and-off problems with its leachate plant over the last approximately 12 years.
