The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Nov. 4 and approved the minutes from its Aug. 5 meeting. Members discussed the Calvert Hill townhouse development on Beaver Grade Road, noting the plan includes a stormwater management component and that coal removal will be required before construction. The council agreed to write articles for the township newsletter on the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System program, community supported agriculture, and the waste collection service. The Communications Director set a late January deadline for spring issue submissions. The council reviewed the DEP compliance inspection report for the MS4 program. The township fared well, with only three potential violations: maintaining lab analysis results on hand, ceasing discharge of vehicle wash water from the Sewage Authority into the parking lot, and keeping printed copies of logs and tracking records with more detail on businesses contributing to runoff. The DEP also recommended improvements to the Public Involvement and Participation Program, including documenting public comments and responses, providing notice of ordinances, and announcing MS4 meetings. Members discussed Earth Day activities and a catch basin stenciling project; a member offered to create a Facebook page for stormwater education. A member reported that four electronics collection days in 2015 yielded 192,719 pounds of material, including 88,307 pounds of televisions. The council discussed possibly replacing the four events with the ongoing “At Your Door” service, but two members expressed concern about losing a worthwhile service and urged early approval of the events. A member noted the fall road cleanup was not scheduled; the council agreed to schedule a spring cleanup at its January or February meeting. A member reported that Walmart is on track for completion by October 2016, while Speedway and Chevron are not moving in. A member noted a solar panel ordinance is on the township board agenda that evening.
