Mount Joy Supervisors meet —they take neutral stand in sewer controversy The Mount Joy Township supervisors took a neutral stand in an up-coming court battle that may be crucial to the outcome of the township’s long-stand- ing sewer controversy. Their decision followed a two-hour meeting in which the supervisors heard both sides of the debated sewer project issue. The centro- versy has the Mount Joy Concerned Citizens on one side wanting to crop off a part of the proposed project and the township authority on the other side, wanting to go with the planned project in its entirety. The CONCERNED CITI- ZENS filed suit against the EPA in a U.S. District Court in Reading last week. The judge of that court will hear the case on Wednesday this week. It involves the concerned citizens and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The citizens’ group has appealed to the EPA to make an environmental impact study on the proposed sewer project. They are confident that such a study would prove their point that the project, as now drawn, would be detrimental to the township by reducing water supplies, encouraging residential and commercial development and burdening residents on fixed incomes. However, the EPA re- sponded with a ‘‘negative declaration,” stating that they felt no impact study was necessary. The township authority gave approval to their attorney, Henry , Gingrich, to ask the court's permis- sion to intervene in support of the EPA. Both the authority and the citizens are seeking the help of the supervisors in court. Te board voted to remain neutral ‘‘at present’, but added an amendment to the motion, recommending to the authority that they ask the court to order the citizens group to put up bond. The bond would be placed against any extra costs that would arise due to delay of the project. The group is only interested in segregating three outlying areas from the project, according to attorney for the citizens, Kenneth Notturno. The areas are: The vicinity of Mount Gretna Road, Her- shey Road, Old Hershey Road and Radio Road. Schwanger Road near the pumping station and Cam- pus and Sheaffer Roads. The vicinity of Ridge Road. The attorney warned that the supervisors would be under ‘‘tremendous pres- sure’’ to re-zone these predominantly rural areas in the wake of the sewer project. The project would put heavy demands on the township’s water supply, he said, resulting in deeper and deeper wells and the eventual demand for a public water supply sys- tem. Notturno argued that the high nitrate levels found by the EPA in local wells could be due to farm fertilizers and not on-lot TEE EE EE EEE EE sewers. He pointed out that the EPA found no bacterio- logical contamination. Harry Graham, vice -chairman of the authority, scoffed at the idea and said that ‘some of the outlying areas, to be sewered, are already zoned for multiple family dwellings.” Graham took offense at the suggestion that the Epa was funding the project on the basis of limited information. Gra- ham said,‘‘they (the EPA) have already demanded more information from us than they have demanded of any municipality in the U.S.A.”. He stated there was no other time in which the EPA had requested water samples prior to issuing a negative declara- tion. Authority chairman, Charles Bailey, Jr., ac- cused the citizens group of ‘‘delaying tactics’’ and said the delays could cause the cost to the homeowner to skyrocket. Trimming back the project, according to the authority chairman, would force rerouting of some sewer lines that could overload trunk lines leading to Elizabethtown. ‘‘My purpose is to get the sewerage put in and put in as cheap as we can for everyone,’’ he said. ‘““We should not look at individual cases, but at the township as a whole.” Two residents spoke up to complain about the delay, saying they wanted the sewage system ‘‘to- morrow.” Both were resi- dents of areas that the citizens’ group does not contest as needing sew- erage. | “SAVINGS CERTIFICATES SUSQUEHANNA TIMES - Page 5 Fire Prevention Week October 10 - 14 Donegal Mutual Insurance Co.
