The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on April 14, 2021, and approved the March 10 minutes with minor grammatical corrections. The council finalized plans for the Earth Day event on Sunday, April 25 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Moon Park, centered on tree planting with 20 trees and approximately 1,000 bulbs in pre-dug holes, plus wildflower meadows and perennial plantings on hillsides under the theme "Save the Monarch." The schedule includes a tree planting demo by Bartlett Tree, volunteer planting, a tree trimming demo, recognition of the MASD Bandana winner, and a bike giveaway coordinated with Moon Police. Community groups scheduled include Goat Scape, Montour Watershed, Moon Garden Club (with monarch and ladybug releases), Bartlett Tree (sapling giveaway), Hope Grows, and others. EAC members were asked to arrive by noon near the Parks Office. The Parks Director noted that proposed charging stations at pavilions will be addressed after a replacement for an employee is hired. The council reviewed three land development plans: Elk Ridge Townhouse (103 units off Stoops Ferry Road, with builders denied one variance and now requesting a 20-foot setback variance); Sheetz (demolition and new 6,000-square-foot store with drive-through on University Blvd.); and Diamond Ridge (master plan for three office buildings near the old Gander Mountain off Montour Parkway, with no specific issues raised). Plans for a new 75,000-square-foot Cargo 4 facility at the airport are not yet available. For old business, the council set the Flaugherty Run stream cleanup for May 8 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. with May 22 as rain date, starting near Shouse Park in Crescent Township. An employee will coordinate with Crescent Twp. and Montour Watershed Assoc for volunteers; an employee will request contractor bags, gloves, and grabbers; an employee volunteered to bring water and donuts. The June 5 Recycling Day will be at the Stevenson Road location; Construction Junction, Liberty Tires, and JVS Electronics are scheduled. An employee noted website updates: remove the past April 5 recycling event, add the June 5 flyer as a hyperlink, and posted the glass recycling flyer on Facebook. An employee noted the municipal building renovation will require a temporary meeting space for the EAC.
