Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 21 subject tags
The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council reorganized for the new year at its Jan. 6 meeting, electing a chairperson, a vice chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer and a historian. The council also voted to move its regular meetings to the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in Conference Room A of the municipal building. An employee reported that Allegheny County ranked first in the Pennsylvania Resources Council’s 2015 Household Chemical Collection program, with 91,848 pounds collected from 925 vehicles. The first 2016 collection in the county is scheduled for May. The employee also noted that the township placed third in the Green Workplace Challenge and was recognized at a Dec. 2 ceremony. Regarding land development, the employee briefed members on Robert Morris University’s plan to add student housing near the baseball fields and confirmed that Walmart has begun construction on University Boulevard. On stormwater compliance, the township has submitted a plan addressing three potential violations identified during a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection MS4 audit. The employee will meet every other month with public works employees and two stormwater experts; no deadline has been set beyond the five-year audit cycle. The council discussed several upcoming events. Electronics recycling dates were set for June 4, Aug. 6 and Oct. 1, with an April date pending. The employee proposed a new traffic route for the June 4 event and plans to contact JVS about worker preparedness. Earth Day on April 24 will feature a native plant giveaway from the Audubon Society and a stormwater demonstration. A Boggs School Run cleanup was tentatively scheduled for April 9, with volunteers to be recruited from Moon High School’s environmental club, RMU groups, Scouts and Moon Connect. The employee noted that a new solar ordinance amending Chapter 27 of the township zoning code was approved Jan. 4, establishing regulations for solar photovoltaic systems. The council also discussed distributing “At Your Door” recycling service information and stormwater education materials, including a flyer for restaurants and books for libraries.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council reorganized for the new year at its Jan. 6 meeting, electing a chairperson, a vice chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer and a historian.
