Legislation seeks Sechan landfill history for permit review
State Rep. Frank LaGrotta asks the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to include Robert C. Sechan's landfill record in evaluating his permit for a 55 acre residual waste landfill near McConnell's Mill State Park and Slippery Rock Creek. The move challenges a 1986 agreement excluding past violations after a decade. Sechan's firm faced leachate issues, a 100000 dollar AG fine, and a worker jailed for dumping chromium-contaminated wastewater. Awaiting DEP response by April, most proposed fills sit in Muddy Creek Township Butler County with about 10 percent in Slippery Rock Township Lawrence County.
