Keystone Sanitary Landfill

The Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board ruled on Tuesday that the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) needs to revisit its permit for the Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Lackawanna County.

The Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Lackawanna County will pay over half a million dollars to two municipalities and the DEP after more than a year of odor complaints from residents. The $575,000 civil penalty is the largest penalty the Department of Environmental Protection has issued to the landfill in the last decade, according to the agency.
