The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met June 18 and approved the minutes from its May 21 meeting. The council reviewed two development plans. The first, Synergy Hospitality’s land development and subdivision for a Hilton Garden View Hotel behind the Eat’n Park on University Boulevard, also includes a new Applebee’s and Jimmy John’s. A council member noted the plans call for typical storm drains but no retention ponds or rain gardens. The second plan, for Building 300 at the Pittsburgh International Business Park in the Cherrington development, includes plenty of shrubs and trees, though not native plants, and a bio-retention area with a rain garden, which the council praised. In old business, a council member reported on the June 7 electronic recycling event. The council collected 915 cars, over 200 more than last year, and 543 tires, 100 more than last year. JVS had not yet provided its numbers but filled seven trucks and was still loading until 3 a.m. The Global Links driver helped Construction Junction by taking doors and lumber that would not have fit in its truck. Municipal workers and baseball players were a huge help, but the council suggested recruiting even more volunteers next year. A council member proposed advertising periodic electronics recycling in the water/sewer/garbage bill to reduce the concentration on the main recycling day. Members also recommended including the 4-foot wood restriction for Construction Junction in the flyer and providing handouts or flyer information on disposing of hazardous waste, paint, batteries and light bulbs, with a link to the Zero Waste Pittsburgh site. A council member noted that all council agendas and minutes will be posted in the Board Docs software, and members, with one exception, could access the system. Two council members provided an interview with the director of community programming at the Moon Community Association, as reported in the previous minutes. The next meeting is set for September 17 at 6 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met June 18 and approved the minutes from its May 21 meeting.
