Good News for the Sinnemahoning-Portage Creek! DEP Secretary Kathleen McGinty says that the Norfolk Southern Railroad has been ordered to clean up any contamination and restore the creek. 40 thousand gallons of lye were dumped into the creek, killing all the fish within a 7 mile chunk of stream. "The Nature and scope of thie accident warrant a cleaup effort that is just as large in scale. Nothing less will do," says McGinty. The DEP is holding a public meeting Wednesday at 6:30 at the Cameron County Courthourse in Emporium to talk to residents about the details of the order, and any updated information.
