Ralph Kiner - 1955 :

Carter would spend the remainder of the 80's as one of the American Leagues top power hitters.

Farmer to pay $4,000 to settle manure overflow case

A McConnellsburg dairy farmer has agreed to pay a $4,000 civil penalty for polluting Big Cove Creek on Oct. 2.

George Richards, a partner in Richards Dairy LLP, acknowledged in a Feb. 15 consent assessment with the state Department of Environmental Protection that manure overflowed from an above-ground storage tank on the farm at 21561 Great Cove Road and into the stream. The dairy also failed to notify DEP of the discharge, Richards acknowledged.

DEP assessed the penalty for two violations of the Clean Streams Law.

Richards Dairy failed to turn off a pump transferring manure from the manure lagoon to the above-ground storage, according to the consent assessment. The storage tank overflowed. The manure flowed across a field, through a culvert under U.S. 30 to a swale and into Big Cove Creek, a protected cold water fishery.
