Months later, still no progress on cleaning up Scenery Hill landslide

SCENERY HILL, Pa. — A landslide that cut off access in a Washington County neighborhood still has not been cleaned up.

Channel 11 first told you about the slide on Moore Lane in Scenery Hill in December. Snow, sleet and heavy rains caused the ground to give way

Homeowner Delbert Main said he is frustrated and that his home is in danger of being destroyed due to the landslide happening in front and behind the home.

“It's threatening to push the house off the foundation and over this cliff,” Main said.

Lorri Knotts’ driveway is now buried underneath all of the rubble from the slide. She said it has caused her to park her vehicle down the road and walk to her home or use another steep driveway on the other side of her home. Knotts said she is worried in case of an emergency.

“We have a daughter. If my house burns, no ambulance can get up there,” Knotts said.

Knotts told Channel 11 that she contacted North Bethlehem Township and was told it was Main’s responsibility to fix.

Main is speaking with a Gateway engineer trying to find a solution to the problem.

“The next logical step is to look at a retaining wall below this slide to make it stable,” said Main.
