Runoff has ruined new landscaping at a home owned by Robert and Michelle Belles in the
Ondish Hills subdivision in Dallas Township. Township officials sympathize, but say the
damage is the responsibility of the developer until the roads and drainage are made accept-
able for the township to take over. :
Runoff
(continued from page 1)
Belles said he is worried that
the rentals might attract tran-
sients who don’t care about the
property and neighborhood
and will bring down the value
of the surrounding homes.
Halbing expressed his sym-
pathy but said that since he no
longer owns the lots, there is
nothing he can do about it.
Ash buildup is the concern
for several residents in the
Elmcrest development.
Leonard Ziolkowski and three
of his neighbors asked the
board if there is another kind
of anti-skid material that can
be spread on the roads after a
snow storm. They complained
that the ash currently being
used creates a lot of dirt that
gets tracked into their homes
and also is killing vegetation
along the tree lawns.
Phil Walter, supervisors
chairman, said ash is economi-
cal at $130 per load and the
township has a stockpile ready
to go for this winter.
Ziolkowski offered his help
to try to find an alternative.
Residents of Goss Manor are
upset that someone purchased
several wooded lots that have
been stagnant since the 1930s
and cut down all of the trees.
Frank Wagner, vice chairman of
the supervisors, said he doesn’t
know why anyone would want
to build on those lots since
they are on a steep slope, but if
the owner wants to build, he
must get approval before dig-
ging up tree stumps.
Attorney Bernard Walter of-
fered a proposal to the board to
prevent future destruction of
the wooded areas in the town-
ship. He introduced an organi-
zation called Growing Greener:
Conservation by Design. Grow-
ing Greener would complete an
assessment to see how well a
community’s local ordinances
conserve land as development
occurs.
Assessments generally cost
$1,500 and with a subsidy of
$1,000 , the community’s share
is $500. Atty. Walter said that
he would pick up the tab for
the balance. He feels it is vital
to the integrity of the natural
landscape and resources to
avoid overdevelopment in the
future and Growing Greener
will help to preserve what is
left for future generations to
enjoy.

ground. There’s gasoline in
the groundwater on site and
we're trying to prevent it from
moving.”
Hydrogeologists have deter-
mined that the flow of the
groundwater is in the direction
of homes affected by a solvent
spill in 2000. The hope is that
the consultant will be able to
pull the gas out of the ground
to prevent it from reaching the
homes’ water supply.
Initially, the product in the
ground was being recovered us-
ing a vacuum process. Accord-
ing to Carmon, that has been
changed to a pumping tech-
nique, a faster more effective
way to recover the gasoline
from the ground.
“Normally we do the vacu-
uming first, we were hopeful
that would handle it,” said Car-
mon.
The pump pulls the contami-
nated groundwater toward the
well where the gas recovery is
occurring. Carmon said pump-
ing will continue until unconta-
minated water is reached.
