VENANGO CO., Pa. (EYT) — The owner of three junkyards located in Cranberry Township has been ordered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to remove a number of recreational vehicles, cars, and trucks stored near the intersection of Route 322 and Deep Hollow Road.
The DEP served the order on Randy J. Spencer of 166 Garden Lane, Franklin, on Monday.
Spencer, who owns junkyards on Deep Hollow Road, Garden Drive, and on Victory Heights Hill, was at the center of a DEP investigation after flooding on July 19-20 washed multiple vehicles from his property into Lower Two Mile Run by Deep Hollow Road. The vehicles caused obstruction of a nearby culvert, which in turn caused serious flooding on the roadway. Debris from his property also spilled down into the Allegheny River.
