Resident complains quarry flooded swamp with "white stuff"; DEP reportedly responded
Summary
A resident told the council the local quarry again flooded a swamp with a white substance and said the DEP responded; the council logged the complaint during public session and noted community concerns about quarry operations and licensing.
During public comment resident Cristian Zimpher said the local quarry flooded a nearby swamp "with white stuff" and asserted the quarry is not being a good neighbor. Zimpher said the Department of Environmental Protection had been to the site and questioned whether the quarry holds the proper local license and suggested it pays less in taxes than neighbors.
Council members did not record a formal enforcement action at the meeting; the item was logged as public comment and residents seeking action were encouraged to follow up with DEP and borough staff. The transcript records the complaint and the resident’s characterization of quarry behavior but does not include a council response beyond noting the comment in the public session record.
