The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on February 13, 2019, and approved the minutes from its January 7 meeting. The council welcomed two new members: an assistant director at Robert Morris University and a manufacturing engineer. The council reviewed two land development plans submitted by a developer: a 9,600-square-foot addition and alteration to RMU’s John Jay Center, including new parking, sidewalks, lighting and landscaping, and a preliminary plan for 11 townhouses on Sharon Road. Members had no specific comments on either plan. The developer noted that the typical timeline from plan submission to groundbreaking is about three months. In old business, the council updated its glass recycling program: an employee will begin taking collected glass to a Michael Brothers facility on February 20, and residents must clean containers, remove lids, and separate by color. The council also noted that accepted No. 1 and No. 2 plastic items must have a mouth smaller than the body. For Earth Day on April 28, the theme is “Branch Out – Grow Roots,” and the council is considering giving away Silky Dogwood tree seedlings instead of the usual plants. The Public Awareness Weekend is set for March 29-30; an employee has booked a 4:30 p.m. slot on March 30 and will prepare two .jpg documents for the presentation. The EAC Recycling Day is June 1 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; fees for FREON increased to $20, fluorescent bulbs to $2, passenger tires to $2.81, and large truck tires to $9.58. The council reviewed its 2019 budget of $5,000, with estimated expenses of $8,500 and average grant refunds of $4,000. The council discussed reducing paper use by projecting documents and asked that the township website be updated to include the two new members.
