The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met September 8 and approved the May 12 minutes. In new business, members reviewed revised plans for three commercial buildings on Grant Drive, noting stormwater runoff will be controlled by an underground detention tank that outlets into an existing pipe leading to a delineated stream on the 22.54-acre parcel. The council expressed dismay that contractors removed more trees than planned at the new dog park; a council member offered to formally communicate this to the township and strongly suggest replacement plantings. The council discussed attending the 3 Rivers Wet Weather Conference Nov. 3-4 in Monroeville, with an Oct. 1 registration deadline. Under old business, the council planned an October stream cleanup along Montour Run from Hassam Road to the Robinson gazebo, with Montour Watershed Association and Trout Unlimited expressing interest in partnering. Members raised concerns about fact-checking Moon Messenger articles on Recycling Day, particularly accepted items, and a council member will contact Off the Floor about periodic collections, specifying exclusions like mattresses and upholstered furniture. For stormwater education, the council discussed having schoolchildren decorate storm drains with chalk, expanding "adopt a drain" initiatives, and launching "grate keeper" concepts at Earth Day with cleanup supplies. Members also discussed educating lawn care companies about grass clippings and fertilizer runoff. Glass recycling's next pop event is Oct. 9-14, and a council member committed to purchasing a permanent bin for $11,000 at Stevenson Mill Road, with the township budgeting for periodic dumping. The council discussed inviting the new volunteer coordinator to the next meeting, planning for Public Awareness Weekend in March 2022, and engaging Whispering Woods neighborhoods in Flaugherty Run watershed efforts. A council member offered to submit a citizen request for a compost site sign at Moon Park, and interest was noted in wildflower meadow signage at Robin Hill and Moon Park. The new EAC banner and tablecloth were displayed, and Facebook followers reached 415. The next meeting is Oct. 13 at 6 p.m., possibly relocated due to municipal building construction.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met September 8 and approved the May 12 minutes.
