E— Sunday, July 24, 2011 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 5 LEHMAN TOWNSHIP Berm clearing needs corrections By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent The board of supervisors an- nounced Monday that the town- ship received a compliance no- tice from the Luzerne County Conservation District regarding the way in which township em- ployees have been clearing the berm of the roads. Representatives from the dis- trict inspected the berms on July 13 and noted the township failed to provide effective erosion and sedimentation controls. Chair- man Dave Sutton said the district is cracking down on all munici- palities and is requiring correc- tive measures that aren’t practi- cal and are dangerous. Sutton said the district is re- quiring the township to put up silt fences or line the berms with hay bales, which he said would pose a risk to motorists. Town- ship crews have been clearing the berms for the past several weeks to help control runoff and flood- ing on several township roads. He said the board plans to dis- cuss the matter with the district. “We'll try to explain that what they're asking us to do isn’t prac- tical,” he said. “It could cause a real safety issue.” Supervisor Doug Ide said crews from drilling company En- cana are working to reclaim the exploratory natural gas well pad at the Salansky site on Zosh Road in Lake Township. Once the com- pany finishes the work and truck traffic is gone from the area, the company will begin to repair the roads it damaged. The affected roads are Outlet, Meeker, Meek- er-Outlet, Slocum and Ide roads. The board opened bids for con- struction of a new roof for the mu- nicipal building. Only two bids were received which were from out-of-town contractors. Ark Builders Corp., of Allentown, presented a bid of $37,730 and Spotts Brothers Inc., of Schuylkill Haven, sent in a bid in for $21,460. No local firms sent pro- posals for the job, despite adver- tising in The Times Leader and the Citizens’ Voice newspapers on two occasions, said treasurer Al Cragle. The township engi- neer will review the bids and make a recommendation. In other business ...
