The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has denied a limestone quarrying company's plans to build a landfill next to McConnell's Mill State Park. The DEP indicated that Sechan Limestone Industries' application "has not demonstrated that the benefits of the proposed landfill clearly outweigh the harms." Sechan officials are reviewing the DEP's finding; DEP officials said that while the company can appeal the denial, the chances of the decision being overturned are small.
