Search and rescue teams, along with several K-9 units, recovered a body in the area of McDonald Street in Plymouth Township on Saturday while conducting a search for Brian Rogozinski, who was reported missing on Aug. 11. The county coroner’s office hasn’t positively identified the body yet, but said in a report issued Sunday that the body size and characteristics are consistent with Rogozinski.

Search and rescue teams working to locate a Nanticoke man reported missing earlier this month found human remains in the area of McDonald Street in Plymouth Township on Saturday.

The victim has not yet been positively identified, according to the Luzerne County Coroner’s office, but the body size and characteristics are consistent with that of Brian Rogozinski, 49, who was reported missing on Aug. 11.

The coroner’s report also notes that the estimated date of death on the body is consistent with the date Rogozinski was reported missing. No suspicious circumstances are noted.

After a search for Rogozinski on Aug. 12 was unsuccessful due to limited resources, volunteer teams from all over the region joined forces with the fire and EMS departments from Nanticoke, Newport Township and Plymouth to comb a large search area.

According to the Nanticoke City Fire Department, the…

Maryland could lose its only known population of Atlantic sturgeon. The Maryland Department of the Environment, MDE, has given tentative approval for a 35 million pound salmon factory, “AquaCon,” on the banks of Marshyhope Creek, an Eastern Shore tributary that connects to the Nanticoke River and supports spawning and nursery habitat of this federally protected endangered species. A recent estimate has sturgeon spawners numbering 40 or less. This tiny population is on the knife-edge of vulnerability, meaning that AquaCon’s effluents represent an existential threat.

AquaCon’s salmon production numbers are astronomical, exceeding Maryland’s total seafood production, exceeding harvests of Chesapeake blue crab, and topping U.S. Atlantic harvests of striped bass. Recirculating rearing technology produces impressive growth rates and efficient use of feed and water, yet the key challenge is waste management. Fast growing salmon poop a lot. On a daily basis, AquaCon’s salmon would generate several-fold more poop than the citizenry of Annapolis. Waste management technologies include a combination of combustion and capture of solids that are transported off-site. Still, containment systems for this audacious volume have never been tested, and accidents and even catastrophes (water and electrical outages, disease outbreaks, die-offs) are bound to happen, overwhelming the contingency of using Federalsburg’s single sewage treatment plant. Direct spills would make downstream reaches devoid of oxygen and uninhabitable for sturgeon and other native fishes.

The factory will also discharge over 2 million gallons each day of cold groundwater, required to flush wastes and off-flavors from salmon prior to harvest. The planned point of discharge is into a shallow channel just over 100-feet in width. The cold purge water will inundate the entire channel, impacting sturgeon spawning cues and offspring growth and survival. Further, adding salinity, as is often the case to lower stress in cultured salmon, would make large segments of the Marshyhope Creek…

Replacement of the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River came up during Luzerne County Council’s Strategic Initiatives Committee meeting this week.

Council has identified the county-owned bridge as the highest-priority project to be completed with infrastructure funding the county is slated to receive from casino gambling revenue, although the final decision is subject to change and up to council.

Up to $55 million will be available for county-owned projects, although the net proceeds will depend on interest rates and other costs associated with the borrowing required to yield the up-front cash. A possible receipt around $51 million has been cited at prior council meetings due to rising interest rates.

The strategic committee received a list of prioritized projects totaling $54.9 million that has been compiled by the county engineer’s office.

Construction of a new Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge linking Nanticoke and Plymouth Township topped the list, at an estimated $51 million.

The other proposed allocations, in order of priority, would address the most deteriorated sections of the following roadways, the administration said:

• Main Road in Hunlock and Ross townships, $1 million

• Lower Demunds Road and Upper Demunds Road in Dallas and Franklin townships, $650,000

• Ransom Road in Dallas and Franklin townships, $500,000

• Church Road in Wright Township, $500,000

• Oak Hill Road in Wright Township, $500,000

• Crestwood Drive in Wright Township, $250,000

• Old Airport Road in Butler Township, $250,000

• Hanover Street in Hanover Township, $250,000

Strategic committee Chairman Gregory Wolovich Jr. asked if the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge must be included.

Andrew Reilly, executive director of the county community development office and redevelopment authority, said the decision is still up to council.

Councilman Kevin Lescavage said he fully supports constructing a new Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge if…
