Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane Monday announced criminal charges have been filed against a Bucks County man following an investigation by the Office of Attorney General’s Environmental Crimes Unit.

David J. Gawronski, 26, 2341 Hill Road, Sellersville, Bucks County, is charged with three counts of unlawful conduct in connection with alleged violations of the Solid Waste Management Act.

Gawronski allegedly dumped five, five-gallon containers that reportedly held petroleum contaminated waste. The dumping was reported in the area of 502 East Creamery Road, Perkasie, Bucks County. One of the containers was reported to be damaged and leaking.

An oil-stained invoice was found taped to one of the containers, investigators allege. The invoice was allegedly addressed to Gawronski Automotive, LLC, Gawronski’s business. The invoice had a phone number written on the back, which investigators said belonged to Gawronski.

Gawronski is tentatively scheduled to appear Oct. 16 for a preliminary hearing. The case will be prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Brian Coffey of the Environmental Crimes Unit.

A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
