Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 26 subject tags
The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Oct. 11 and approved the minutes from its Sept. 6 meeting. Members reviewed the status of the Staunton Heights land development plan, which remains stalled due to ongoing utility issues and is not ready for the township planning agenda. An employee reported that demolition of the Senior Center is complete, with artifacts recovered for potential display at Moon Park and building materials possibly donated to Construction Junction. The council selected two priority sites for the Oct. 28 fall road cleanup: the Hookstown Grade Road/Montour Run intersection and Hershinger Road, both identified in the Allegheny Clean Ways report. Members noted the report misidentified Montour Run as "Beaver Road." Public works volunteers will collect large items at these locations. An employee provided the public notice for the township's final Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP), which will be advertised in the Beaver County Times and Ellwood City Ledger. The five-year plan includes 10 water retention ponds in its first phase with funding estimates. The council discussed the 3 Rivers Wet Weather Sewer Conference, with an employee attending day one and another employee planning to attend day two. The smoke-free parks presentation to the Board of Supervisors remains scheduled for Nov. 29. The council discussed youth engagement, including Boy Scout conservation projects, with suggestions ranging from assisting with road cleanup to MS4 retention pond maintenance. Members also explored allowing high school seniors to earn community outreach credit through EAC participation and discussed potential scholarship funding. An employee will meet with another employee about Scout involvement. The council received rain barrel contest entries from Community Days, noted the successful recycling day despite complaints from Crescent Township residents, and discussed adding clothing and toy collection to the June recycling day, with an employee contacting Vietnam Vets. A watershed meeting is set for Oct. 24 at Mario's restaurant. The next EAC meeting is Nov. 8.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Oct. 11 and approved the minutes from its Sept. 6 meeting.
