When: Manor Township Supervisors meeting, April 5.
What happened: The board approved two requests from the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority, including a request to extend the hours of operation at the landfill during upcoming construction and a request in support of stockpiling ash for a 6-month trial period. The township will send a letter to the state Department of Environmental Protection in support of the move.
Background: According to Bob Zorbaugh of LCSWMA, the Inashco facility had approached DEP with a proposal that includes creating a visual screen around the ash stockpile. During a recent Zoom meeting hosted by LCSWMA for neighbors of the landfill, the authority did not receive any negative feedback. Zorbaugh said the extended hours are necessary during construction at the transfer station to accommodate the additional vehicles. The current hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday.
