The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on September 17, 2014, with four members present. The council approved minutes from the June 18 meeting. In new business, the council reviewed plans for a small Lumos Systems hub building on Moon Clinton Road, noting no specific issues. They also reviewed Patrick’s Pub’s request for a conditional use permit to expand its parking lot into designated bufferyards; the pub plans to add screening trees and the council found no issues if nearby residents are unaffected. A member asked others to attend the Oct. 15-16 3 Rivers Wet Weather conference in Monroeville, but others declined due to workday scheduling. The Green Initiatives Coordinator reported several efforts: planning a “community day” at the Farmers’ Market for outreach; creating a petition to restore bus routes, supported by RMU and office parks; investigating low-cover lawn alternatives; and completing a structural review for a municipal building green roof and porous pavement replacement. Old business included final figures for the June 7 electronic recycling event: 915 participants, 76,390 pounds of electronics, 544 tires, 119 appliances (79 with Freon), 15 volunteers, and 3 public works employees, costing $3,320.09, offset by a $3,515.13 state recycling grant. The council set a tentative date of Nov. 1 from 8-10 a.m. for the Boggs School Road fall cleanup. A member reported observing the Pennsylvania Resource Council’s household chemical collection at Settlers Ridge, noting they staged vehicles in groups of 10-12 and used a single traffic lane. No updates were given on factoid articles or other outreach. The meeting adjourned at 7:03 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on September 17, 2014, with four members present.
