Brdaric case
By JANE C. BOLGER -
Staff Correspondent
A public hearing will be held
Friday, Nov. 11, to determine
whether John Brdaric will be able
to operate a demolition landfill in
former strip mining pits on Bunker
Hill.
Brdaric is seeking approval of the
project, in the form of changing
zoning in the area from conserva-
tion to mining, from the Kingston
Township Board of Supervisors.
The Kingston Township Planning
Commission, which heard the case
in October, has recommended that
the zoning change be granted. Ben
Gorey is chairman of the commis-
sion with other members being Ben
Franklin, Walter Roberts, Peter
George and Robert Tippett.
Brdaric owns approximately 230
acres of land on Bunker Hill and
resides on a portion of it, but is only
seeking to rezone the part of his
property that is on the Swoyersville
side of the mountain. He has also
applied for a Solid Waste Landfill
Permit that would have to be
approved by the Luzerne County
Planning Commission and the
Department ‘of Environmental
Resources.
There is considerable local opposi-
tion to Brdaric’s project with neigh-
bors and Kingston Township having
filed numerous complaints against
him in the past for illegal dumping.
As a result of one case that was
heard in magisterial court he was
required to move stored salvage
materials back 1,600 .feet from
Bunker Hill Road.
An example of the strong feelings
in the area against Brdaric’s Land-
fill is the following letter sent this
week to DER by Kingston Township
Manager Mark Kunkle with copies
to Rep. Frank Coslett and Senator
Frank O’Connell.
Brdaric operates an excavating
and demolition business based in
Luzerne and presently has to trans-
port all the debris from knocking
down buildings to landfill sites in
Scranton or Dunmore. The nearby
West Side Landfill accepts sanitary
materials only since it is not
designed to handle demolition mate-
rials thus making the costly trips to
Lackawanna County necessary.
Specific concerns expressed by
residents opposed to Brdaric’s oper-
ating a demolition landfill‘ on
Bunker Hill are possible contamina-
tion of well water, heavy truck
traffic, loose debris on area roads,
rodent control and devaluation of
property values.
The Public Hearing which will be
held at the Kingston Township
Municipal Building on Carverton
Road will begin at 8 p.m.
It is anticipated the meeting will
strongly object to the project with
tentative plans already underway to
schedule a second public hearing in
45 days as allowed by law to hear
additional testimony.
Dallas Township Police are inves-
tigating the theft of tires and wheels

A squirrel was reportedly respon-
sible for the electrical power knock-
out in Dallas Monday morning at
8:25 a.m.
Original reports were that there
had been a minor explosion at the
sub station at Center Hill Road and
Lake Street.
UGI crews discovered, however,
that the squirrel had shorted out
- insulators as well as shortening his
own life. ‘
Electricity and cable TV were
restored in less than an hour by
transferring power from Fernbrook
substation until permanent repairs
could be made by UGI.
