BLACK CREEK TOWNSHIP -- A sudsy situation in a creek in Luzerne County has been traced to a soap and detergent facility.
The foam in Black Creek in Black Creek and Hazle Townships last month tested positive for ingredients in detergent and was traced to a storm sewer coming out of Henkel, Inc., according to a DEP investigation.
Officials said the storm sewer line has been fixed.
DEP sent Henkel a notice of violation and will conduct assessments to determine long-term effects to the creek.
