Good Question
I remember reading in your
diaper an article by Joyce Bupp on
the Sonny Farms chemical dump
to be built in Seven Valleys, York
County. What has been happening
with that dump since the ariticle
was written?
A York County reader
Since the article you are refering
to was written construction of the
dump has been suspended. DER
(The Department of En
vironmental Resources)
suspended Stabatrol Company’s
(which owns the dump) license to
operate chemical dumps, ac
cording to Edward Simmons,
regional director for the DER
The license was suspended due
to what DER feels as improper
encapsulation procedures at
Stabatrol’s other chemical
dumping facility in Susquehanna
county. Encapsulation is the
process by which the chemicals
are encased in cement-like cap

sales for indefintite storage in the

Although the dump in Seven
Valleys was not in operation al the
time, DER felt the same type of
problems could occur if con
struction of the dump was allowed
to continue. For this reason, they,
suspended Stabatrol company’s
permit to complete construction of
the Seven Valleys site, Simmons
said.
The company has appealed
DERs suspension of their permit.
A hearing will now be scheduled,
according to Gary Galida, chief of
hazardous wastes for DER. After
this hearing a review board will
decide if the reasons for the
suspension are satisfactory. If the
review board decides the reasons
are valid the suspension will stand
until, the company can prove it'has
corrected any problems connected
with the dumping procedures it
uses.
