The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) reorganized for 2019 at its Jan. 7 meeting, unanimously appointing a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer, and a historian. The council voted to keep its meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building. In new business, the council reviewed the revised land development plan for the Village at Market Place, submitted Jan. 2. Members suggested the developers work with Hollow Oak to build trail connections, and an employee said she would raise the issue with a representative. The employee also reported that Hollow Oak and the Gun Club have agreed to swap property near the Montour Trail. The council scheduled several 2019 events: Public Awareness Weekend on Mar. 29-30, a possible Earth Day/Live Well event on Apr. 28, Arbor Day tree planting (date TBD), Recycling Day on June 1, and an Owl Prowl on Jan. 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Under old business, the council discussed the 2019 MTMA recycling/trash contract. An employee provided a SHACOG survey showing 11 of 12 municipalities interested in a regional recycling program. Members noted a discrepancy between SHACOG guidance on “no 1” plastics and a report from an employee, and will seek clarification from Waste Management. Two members confirmed that Construction Junction continues to accept glass and other plastics at its drop-off program. The council also reviewed the draft chicken and bee ordinance, noting the planning committee is considering changes suggested by a representative of the State Beekeepers Association. An employee reported that Public Works will meet with Hollow Oak on Jan. 30 to discuss trail expansions, sustainability, connections, and maintenance and signage plans. Robin Hill will add more connections soon. A “Build Day” is planned for May and a “Trail Day” walk for June. The council discussed two potential new members—two residents—and noted a Montour Run Association facility tour on Jan. 12 at 8:30 a.m. The meeting adjourned at 6:56 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) reorganized for 2019 at its Jan. 7 meeting, unanimously appointing a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer, and a historian.
