Shooting range is the source of lead in Pennsylvania’s Blue Hole Creek
Published: , in Outdoor News
A shooting range in Somerset County has been named as the source of lead pollution in Blue Hole Creek, a once-pristine waterway in Pennsylvania’s Forbes State Forest that hikers routinely used to slake their thirst.
Highlands Sporting Clays – a three-course range owned by Pittsburgh Pirates owner Bob Nutting – has been issued a notice of violation by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for lead contamination of the creek, an Exceptional Value waterway in the Youghiogheny River watershed.
