OIL CITY — Spring road maintenance season will be under way soon and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Erie County maintenance office expects waste fill dirt will be available as crews tackle activities 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 Erie County maintenance office located at 9031 Peach Street, Waterford, PA 16441, or by calling 814-871-4411 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.
