A Greene County man has been charged with illegally dumping millions of gallons of wastewater across southwestern Pennsylvania – including water from gas drilling operations, sludge from sewage treatment plants and grease water from restaurants.
The state attorney general’s office say 50-year-old Robert Allan Shipman’s company illegally disposed of the wastewater between 2003 and 2009.
Acting Attorney General Bill Ryan says, “This was a calculated and long-running scheme to personally profit by illegally dumping waste water, regardless of the potential for environmental damage.”
