J and K Salvage Scrapyard in Pennsylvania Faces State Crackdown Over Environmental Violations
The state Department of Environmental Protection has issued an administrative order to halt operations at J and K Salvage Scrapyard in Spring Garden Township, York County, Pennsylvania. The agency is seeking a bench warrant to jail the owner, Harry J. Darrah the third, due to repeated violations of a 2024 court order. The move comes after a February fire at the yard spilled nearly ten thousand gallons of oils into the soil and Codorus Creek. Local residents and environmental groups are calling for a full shutdown, citing strong oily odors during the fire and a backlog of violations. The DEP is pushing for enforcement after years of issues at the facility, with no response from the scrapyard or its owner. The future of the scrapyard remains uncertain as cleanup continues and legal battles escalate.
