LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says the Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Lackawanna County cannot add more garbage to certain areas of the site.
The landfill cuts across the boroughs of Dunmore and Throop.
According to the DEP, the agency has received hundreds of odor complaints, so it has suspended the landfill's plan to add waste to previously capped areas.
A DEP survey of the landfill earlier this month found strong landfill gas odors in some areas of the site.
The DEP is requesting that the landfill submit a plan to mitigate the landfill gas odors in the areas noted in the inspection report by December 1.
