EPA identifies nearly 180 polluted Pennsylvania streams

Federal investigators have compiled about 180 cases where companies taint Pennsylvania waterways with toxic pollution, including three sites in Delaware County. The EPA notes streams face organic pollutants from nonpoint sources and says the list may change after a 120 day public comment period under a 1987 federal water survey law.

Plant, 2 firms on list of polluters in state waterways

Three Delaware County companies appear on a federal EPA list of toxic polluters affecting waterways including the Ridley Creek area. Barry Sherwin, Media’s water and sewage committee chairman, says he has not been notified by the state DEP or EPA about the plant’s appearance and suspects a mistake possibly tied to a March 30 oil spill that dumped about 3,500 gallons into a private pond, then Ridley Creek, and into the Media Water Co. treatment plant, threatening about 50,000 residents’ water supply.
