OIL CITY, Pa. – Spring road maintenance season will be underway soon, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Mercer County maintenance office expects waste fill dirt will be available from work such as ditching, shoulder cutting, pipe replacement and other operations.
Fill dirt left over from PennDOT maintenance operations is available to property owners who request the material and whose property is accessible and located near work areas. Some restrictions apply to where materials can be placed.
Property owners must sign a release form (Form M-666), which is available by contacting the Mercer County maintenance office at 215 North Maple St. or calling 724 662 5350 and pressing 0 to talk with the operator.
The form must be signed before any fill dirt is delivered. Forms expire at the end of each year, and new ones must be signed annually.
