Ee
State auditors will probe HL books
By ERIC FOSTER
Post Staff
The state Auditor General's
Office has agreed to help Luzerne
County District Attorney Peter Paul
Olszewski in an investigation of
Harveys Lake Borough.
Olszewski requested the Audi-
tor General's Office conduct an
audit of the borough after the
borough's assistant police chief,
Ronald Spock, was arrested for
bribery in June.
Olszewski said that he learned
Friday, August 7, that state audi-
tors would help with the investiga-
tion.
One of the areas the auditors
will be looking at are cases in which
drunken driving charges, a misde-
meanor charge, were reduced to
non-traffic summary violations. In
reducing the charge, the borough
keeps all of the fine money, rather
than some of it going to the state,
Olszewski said.
Neither Olszewski, nor the
Auditor General's Office would
comment further on the extent of
Quarry
(continued from page 1)
received a response to the first
letter.
According to Jim Ward, mining
engineer and geologist for Ameri-
can Asphalt, the company has
contacted several contractors for
bids on repairing the fence and is
waiting to hear from them.
Culp said that Jackson Town-
ship's zoning law requires a 100-
foot buffer zone, where no mining
may take place, between mining
districts and surrounding areas
zoned differently. American As-
phalt's quarry is zoned “M-1"
(mining), while most surrounding
properties are zoned for other
purposes.
After walking the property line
in question and measuring the
distance to the drop-off with a
ruler, Culp said that American
Asphalt has mined rock to within
an average of 10 feet of surround-
ing property lines.
Ward said that the company
follows Department of Environ-
mental Resources (DER) regula-
tions requiring 25-foot buffer zones
around mining areas. DER in-
spected American Asphalt last
week and found everything in
compliance, Ward said.
In addition, the company is
constantly filling in along the
quarry's slopes, Ward said. “It's an
ongoing process involving moving
hundreds of thousands of tons of
fill,” Ward said. “We constantly try
to keep it up to date.”
The company has aerial photo-
graphs on file to show what work
has been done, he added.
Ward said that DER makes
quarterly inspections of the com-
pany’s operation, as well as mak-
ing inspections every time that the
company applies for a new mining
permit.
According to DER District Min-
ing Engineer Roger Hornberger,
the width of the buffer zone is
usually at least 25 feet and is
delinated by maps accompanying
mining permit applications.
The only time that a quarry can
mine within 25 feet of a property
line is if the edge of the quarry pit
(the highwall) was developed be-
fore 1972, when present regula-
tions were enacted, he said.
Aerial photographs are not re-
quired unless the company volun-
tarily includes them in the original
mining permit application,
Hornberger said.
Hornberger was not able to ver-
ify the date of DER’s last inspec-
tion of American Asphalt or the
company's compliance record
because the supervisor in charge
of the inspectors for the region was
not in the office.
“We're attempting to work things
out with American Asphalt before
legal steps must be taken,” said
Jackson Township supervisor Joe
Stager.

or how long the probe wou Id take. ;
Shortly after Spock was arrested |
for bribery in June, Olszev/ski said |
that about 15 other drunk :en-driv- |
ing cases handled by Spock dlso
were being investigated. ol
The bribery charge against ]
Spock was sent to sent to Luzérhe |

Schooley Farm —
(continued from page 1)
Romanowski has moved from his
home on Hilltop Drive into, the
Schooley farmhouse. He's con- |
tacted the Wyoming Valley His-
torical and Geologic Society and is |
investigating the possibility. of |
restoring the old home. fe
The farm's tenant house already |
has been remodeled, said Roma-
nowski.
“I just want to be proud of what |
I've done, five years from now and |
25 years from now. So if I drive by |
this road, whether I'm aresident of |
Kingston Township or Miami, Flor- |
ida, I'm proud of what I did,” he |
said.
On August 4, the Kingston |
Township Planning Commission |
voted to recommend that the super-
visors give final plan approval to |
the subdivision with some condi- |
tions. |
According to township zoning |
officer Ben Gorey, approval is still |
needed from the Luzerne County |
Conservation District for the ero- |
sion plan, and from the state
Department of Environmental |
Resources for the sewer system. |
The township is also awaiting a |
letter from the Historical Commis- |
sion on whether the old farmhouse |
has any historical landmark fea- |
tures.
The farm was founded in 1845
by Joseph Peter Schooley.
