There were no new proposals brought forth at last evenings Board of Supervisor's meeting.
One resident did request the current burning ordinance for East Vincent Township be updated to include a setback boundary for outdoor burning and also a request that burning after dark be more strictly enforced. The issue at hand is the burning of trash, grass and other objects which prove to be noxious to neighboring residents whose windows are open during the warmer months. Chairman Funk would not like to see the township saddled with more rules and regulations that may burden our police force. Presently, the State of Pennsylvania allows burning between sunrise and sunset. You may check the present East Vincent Township Ordinance for burning by clicking on the link EV Ordinances under "Ordinances, Landscapes and Regional Plans" to the right of this page.
Congratulations to Darwin Schafer and East Vincent Township's Public Works Department; in collaboration with the Environmental Advisory Committee and Green Valleys Association, for receiving a "beyond satisfactory" review from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP review of the annual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for East Vincent Township found our township to be "beyond satisfactory" in the maintenance of over 500 inlets and drains throughout East Vincent. Mr. Schafer and the public works department check these inlets and drains after every water event to assure pollutants and other materials don't find their way into our exceptional streams and watersheds. Thank you!
The next evening Board of Supervisor's meeting is scheduled for April 1, 2009 @ 7:30 p.m.
Yours in a balanced East Vincent Township,
