DEP Approves Hazleton Creek Properties’ Project with Additional Environmental Safeguards
Company Receives Approval to Operate Under Existing General Permit
HARRISBURG -- The Department of Environmental Protection today approved a project by Hazleton Creek Properties that will use processed construction and demolition debris, as well as regulated fill, to reclaim the Mammoth strip pit in Hazleton City, Luzerne County.
In approving the company’s application, the department imposed additional conditions to ensure more stringent environmental protection measures.
“The company agreed to additional safeguards beyond what is required under this general permit,” said Northeast Regional Director Michael Bedrin.
The company’s application proposed mixing processed construction and demolition debris such as brick, blocks or concrete with fill material such as soil, rock, stone, dredged material and used asphalt.
Hazleton Creek Properties’ general permit requires periodic status reports, groundwater monitoring and other environmental safeguards. The additional conditions include an annual performance review of this five-year project; reporting testing data on a quarterly basis; chemically and physically testing waste at the source and as the material is received on site; identifying construction and demolition debris sources; and gas monitoring.
Hazleton Creek Properties LLC of Kingston, Luzerne County, submitted an application to DEP under the General Permit WMGR097 in August 2009. The department held a public information meeting on the proposal Nov. 16, 2009, and included a 45-day extended comment period.

Guess the rhetoric about the material was more "toxic" than the material itself. Pennsylvania taxpayers paid for a franking document that was politically motivated and worthless information.

Kanjorski's False Issues and Smear Tactics Part 1
First Truth About Waste At Dredge Site
"Wood and metal found at a proposed amphitheater site being reclaimed by Hazleton Creek Properties belongs in a landfill for construction and demolition waste, a state inspector told the company.
After finding more than 100 tons of unpermitted material at the site in Hazleton last week, an inspector told the company to remove it, Mark Carmon of the state Department of Environmental Protection said.
By Tuesday, a railcar returned the wood and metal to New Jersey, Carmon said."
Second Truth About Waste
"Earlier this month, DEP issued a formal violation notice to Hazleton Creek for unloading unauthorized waste at the site. Inspectors found eight to 10 piles of wood, brick, mortar and scrap metal that had been unloaded from rail cars."
Listen to Kanjorski's commercial alleging that "Lou Barletta is pocketing campaign contributions from developers dumping contaminated Philadelphia sludge in Hazleton. Waste so polluted and unauthorized the state issued a violation for unloading it at the site."
How is wood and metal polluted waste? It is construction waste, plain and simple. The violation was unloading unathorized debris in the form of wood and metal. It wasn't spread at the site. It was quarantined and then removed.
Now lets address the "Contaminated Philadelphia Sludge"??: DEP Approves Hazleton Creek’s Use of Regulated Fill at Mine Reclamation Site "The Department of Environmental Protection has approved Hazleton Creek Properties LLC’s general permit to use regulated fill for construction activities at a land reclamation project in Hazleton, Luzerne County.
“The company’s proposal meets DEP’s strict regulations and includes conditions to ensure the safe and effective use of this material in construction,” DEP Northeast Regional Director Michael Bedrin said."
The site-specific general permit authorizes Hazleton Creek Properties to use regulated fill, including dredged material, in access road construction, rail infrastructure construction, utility relocation and permitted facility construction, and as use for sub-base for future parking areas that also will serve as a cap on old landfill areas.
Regulated fill is soil, rock, stone, dredged material, used asphalt, historic fill and brick, block or concrete from construction and demolition activities."
Another press release on the subject.
So I ask the questions, Paul why didn't you tell the truth and why did you smear William Rinaldi, his employees, and his business?? You didn' t only lose your image; you lost your moral values.
