WARRIOR RUN • SLOPE STREET
_________________________
2015 • 15 acres • Warrior Run Borough, Luzerne County, PA

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Warrior Run reclamation project is located off of Slope Street, adjacent to a residential neighborhood. The 15-acre tract had been covered with mine spoils, dumped there by local collieries decades ago. From the air, the waste rock appeared like fingers, trailing through the woods. Reclaimed in 2015, the site may eventually be available for residential use.
