The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on September 11, 2019, and approved the minutes from its May 8 meeting. In new business, the council reviewed resubmitted land development plans for Rolling Hills, an 83-townhouse project proposed for the Crystal Garden site. Members noted the plans include an underground stormwater retention tank and a good mix of trees but do not appear to go “above and beyond” requirements; staff will ensure the developer is aware of stormwater best management practices. The council also brainstormed upcoming activities, making tentative plans to clean up the south end of Ewing Road on October 5, with a council member coordinating volunteers. Members are working toward stewardship in the Watershed Steward Program and will ask about budget requirements at an upcoming watershed meeting. Two council members will meet with an employee to discuss improvements to the EAC website. The council discussed the Montour Run Watershed Association’s annual dinner meeting on October 22 at Mario’s Family Italian Restaurant; three council members plan to attend. The EAC was thanked during an award presentation at PNC Park two weeks prior. In old business, the council reported that the August 17 glass recycling day with PRC drew 247 participants and collected over 5.4 tons of glass; two council members volunteered for the November 9 event. There were no updates on the comprehensive plan update. The Three Rivers Wet Weather annual sewer conference is scheduled for November 13-14; members were asked to notify a council member if they wish to attend. A council member provided a PowerPoint presentation on good lawn practices and MS4 annual training material presented to the Board of Supervisors. The council reviewed the September 5 Green Team meeting agenda evaluating the township’s 2019 sustainability goals; two tree planting events are scheduled at Moon Park on October 11 and October 22. A prospective member, a geologist from Gateway Engineering involved in wetland and stormwater work, introduced herself; a council member has forwarded her resume to the Board of Supervisors and recommended she join immediately rather than waiting for the traditional January term start. The next EAC meeting is set for October 9 at 6:00 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on September 11, 2019, and approved the minutes from its May 8 meeting.
