Show Notes
Cleanup efforts persist along Codorus Creek in York County following a fire at J and K Salvage, with environmental group Lower Susquehanna Riverkeepers filing a court motion to halt operations until a proper pollution discharge permit is secured. Post-fire tests revealed heavy metals and volatile organic compounds in the creek water, raising concerns about potential contamination spread without better controls. Issues such as poor stormwater management and unsafe storage of hazardous wastes are cited as causing lasting damage to the creek and nearby communities. Demolition of buildings is underway, with EPA-installed booms blocking further material from flowing downstream. Containment measures are expected to remain in place for another two to three weeks to ensure thorough cleanup before restoring the creeks natural flow.
