DEP Shuts Down Company Accused Of Dumping Drilling, Other Wastewater

The Department of Environmental Protection this week ordered Allan Waste Water Service, Inc. and Tri-County Waste Water Service to shut down immediately this week after a grand jury recommended criminal charges against the owner and one of the businesses for illegally dumping millions of gallons of Marcellus Shale drilling water and other wastewater.
           The two businesses share an address in Waynesburg, Greene County, and share the same corporate officers, Robert Allan Shipman and Carolyn Shipman, his wife.
            The grand jury recommended 175 criminal charges for illegal dumping against Mr. Shipman and his hauling business, which operated at least 16 tanker trucks and brought in $7 million a year.
