Shenango River spill nearly cleaned up

FARRELL, PA.

Mercer County’s public safety director says the spill that fouled the Shenango River after a mistake at Duferco Farrell Corp. is nearly cleaned up. Frank Jannetti said Thursday that crews were still working at the river with vacuum trucks trying to collect what remained of 13,000 gallons of an oily mixture that was inadvertently discharged into the river from Duferco’s plant on Roemer Boulevard. He said they hoped to be finished by Thursday night.
