Lake Continues
To Read “Clean”
n Latest Tests
Contrary To Rumor,
State Health Office
Plans No 2nd Close
Most recent tests taken of water
at public beaches of Harveys Lake
were made last Friday, a Health
Department official told the Dallas
Post yesterday, and the Lake is
clean.
Ralph Heister, District Sanitary
Engineer, said ‘‘All public beaches
have good water quality.” Answer
was in response to a rumor placed
at the Dallas Post to the effect that
Harveys Lake was again about to
be put under Health Department
quarantine. because of sewage dis-
charge, as it was last year, effec-
tively killing business,
The Post asked Mr. Heister if
these rumors had any foundation,
and he said “Not to my knowledge,”
adding that almost all direct sew-
age discharges had been eliminated
by Health Department inspection
and action, and that this was re-
ected in 1965 by good water
‘®quality.
Mr. Heister also said that the
Health Department would continue
make tests and would report
¥ény problems to the public.
He also warned that in time,
even though the direct discharges
had been eliminated, he anticipates
that residual sewage discharge will
pose a problem for Harveys Lake
unless there is more effective sew-
age disposal.

authorizing police to

The resident cited a recent issue
of the Dallas Post which told of
Township Board’s interest in devel-

there were substantial federal funds
available. He also brought a copy of
a plan for sewer in Clinton, N. J,
involving 650 dwellings, at $70 a
year rental fee and $6 a foot front-
footage. He said summer residents
need only maintain adequate septic

dents should be sure their building
activities are acceptable by law, ac-
cording to Clarence Laidler, Dallas,
recently appointed Zoning Officer.
All of Luzerne County has been
covered by zoning ordinarices, since
January 1. Any new construction,
including additions to existing struc-
tures, major remodeling or changes
in the use of land, require a zoning
permit before starting.
It is to the advantage of every-
one involved if a permit is taken
out first, to insure that the use is
| permitted, and that the setbacks
{are observed, and other require-
| ments complied with. It is much:
| easier to change a structure on
the givdnd afted it hasbeen started, i
as well as the cost involved.
Some uses might not be permit-
ted at all, such as the location of
a business in an agricultural or resi-
dential zone, or a residence in a
! business or industrial zone, or a
bewo family residence or conversion
|in a single family zone.
Zoning inspectors from the Coun-
ty Planning Commission are now
checking the field to determine
whether or not zoning permits have
been obtained.
Violations of the County Zon-
ing Ordinance are subject to
fine, jail sentence, or injunc-
tion.
If you have started a structure,
or addition, or changed the use of
land after January 1, 1965, and
| have not obtained a zoning permit,
apply for it at your earliest oppor-
tunity. If your municipality has its
own zoning ordinance, apply to the
local zoning officer. If it does not
have one, apply to Clarence M.

Sewerline Pends
Appalachia Aid
Push Area Project
Along Creek Basin
At last census, in 1960, the
‘metropolitan’ ‘Back Mountain, Dal-
las Borough, Dallas, Township, and
fn gston Township, numbere d
i 12/089 people.
In 1980 the combined population
will be something like 19,400, ac-
cording to sewarage feasibility re-
port as reviewed by the Luzerne
County Planning Comission.
Along the lines of this previous
study, the Back Mountain Protec-
tive Association is urging local
municipalities to build a sewer
system, financing it with federal
help, hopefully under the new
Appalachia program.
One borough official, who also
pointed out that his municipality
was one of the first to promote the
original study, recently asserted
that he would be ready to imple-
ment a sewer for the Back Moun-
tain ‘tomorrow’ if he thought he
could “ get it for twenty per cent’
--that is, in effect, if the federal
government would pay 80 per cent
of the estimated $4,400,000 cost of
the tri-municipal plan.
The Protective Association is go-
ing even farther than that. It thinks
that Harveys Lake might tie in, as
well. In the Planning Commission
report, a separate recommendation
is made for Harveys Lake area, with
treatment plant to be located at
Oak Hill to be force-lifted over the
ridge above Sunset. (This latter
plan has drawn scorn from some
local officials who have said “We
have sewage problems as it is at the
Lake, ‘without pumping Oak Hill's
stuff over here”.) The Association
would like, instead, to hitch the
Lake’s sewage to the Toby's Creek
drainage area which would be serv-
iced by a Back Mountain sewer line.
At the junction of what is called
Trout Brook (the route of Lower
Demunds Road) and Toby's Creek
in Fernbrook would be the treat-
ment plant, fed by gravity from
areas above it, and having the sew-
age from below, in Kingston Town-
ship, pumped back uphill to it after
it flowed by gravity to the pumping
station near Carverton Road.
One hitch is in the rental fee,
which would be $68 in the case of
a tri-municipal system, plus an
estimated $100 tie-in cost and front
foot cost of $6.50. Some people in
the affected area have considerable
useless land with assessable front
| footage, and it is these people who
| objected to plans for a sewer when
the original report was made.
They might be expected to object
slightly and someone
| might have thrown something in it.
Damage was. estimated at up-
wards of $150. Mrs. Suponcic is
