Indian Creek update

The Mountain Watershed Association has expressed its opposition to a prospective limestone quarry on Indian Creek in Fayette County, in the hope the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will reject a permit request by New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company.

The watershed association opposes New Enterprise's seven-year long effort to build the mine because it believes the company has failed to demonstrate that its water management plan wouldn't harm the stream's wild trout, according to the association's attorney Howard Wein.

DEP is expected to decide the permit request early this year.

If it issues the permit, Wein said, his clients probably would appeal the decision.
