During the first week of September, 2020, the week before Labor Day, construction slurry from a Dominion Energy fiber-optic drilling operation in Haymarket, VA was transported across state lines and dumped illegally on several sites in southern Berkeley County, WV.
WVDEP is orchestrating a cleanup operation among the various parties involved: Dominion Energy contractor Laney Directional Drilling, out of Texas; B&D Water Hauling out of Ohio; and Miller Environmental of Martinsburg, West Virginia (Miller, a remediation firm, has since left the project).
While the cleanup continues, with crews working seven days a week, little more than a trickle of water runs over the massive mudslide, up to two feet deep, that fills the creek bed.
