Parx casino/race track ordered to clean up manure

BENSALEM, Pa. - April 29, 2010

The state Department of Environmental Protection says more than 1,200 horses are being kept on property where manure-laden stormwater is impacting the Neshaminy Creek watershed.

The DEP says the owners of the Parx Casino and Parx Racing facilities in Bensalem, Pa., also must implement a water conservation plan, improve efforts to manage waste water and make other changes.

The DEP says it's been working with Parx officials for more than a decade to bring them into compliance, but that a March inspection uncovered numerous violations.

A Parx spokeswoman did not comment when contacted by The Associated Press on Thursday.
