"Grove City residents are concerned that the landfill will accept oil and gas waste and further pollute nearby waterways."
"For years, residents of Grove City, Pennsylvania, have fought to stop a decades-old landfill from resuming operations in their town. They were worried the landfill would make legacy pollution in the area worse.
But in 2022, information about the kind of waste the landfill would accept raised new fears.
“We realized we didn’t only have a trash problem, but we had a radiation problem,” said Beverly Graham, who lives about three miles from the landfill site and is the recording secretary for the Citizens’ Environmental Association of the Slippery Rock Area, or CEASRA, the local environmental group at the forefront of the battle against the landfill.
The group had found a map of landfills that accept oil and gas waste in Pennsylvania, published by investigative journalists at the Public Herald. One of the sites was Seneca Landfill, owned by the same company, Vogel Holding, that owns the landfill in Grove City."
