Tredyffrin amends industrial-waste rules to align with federal standards
Summary
The Board of Supervisors adopted ordinance HR 481 to amend Chapter 163, updating local regulations on acceptance of industrial waste, holding-tank waste and septage to match EPA and Valley Forge sewer authority requirements.
Tredyffrin Township’s Board of Supervisors adopted ordinance HR 481 on June 17, 2024, updating Chapter 163 of the township code to revise rules for accepting industrial waste, holding-tank waste and septage. The hearing record included proofs of publication, a distribution list and the proposed ordinance, and staff said the changes are intended to ensure the township’s standards align with EPA rules and the Valley Forge sewer authority’s requirements.
Solicitor Mr McKenna and staff marked board exhibits and answered technical and legal questions during the public hearing. A board member asked for a clarification that the purpose of the ordinance is “so that our standards match the EPA standards,” and staff and counsel confirmed that the amendment is required to remain in compliance when the sewer authority revises its regulations. The board conducted a roll-call vote and approved the ordinance as presented.
The ordinance was recorded in the meeting record; staff noted the package included the published notices from the Daily Local News and the Main Line Times and the ordinance text. No amendments to the ordinance text were made at the hearing. The meeting record shows the vote was taken by roll call and the motion passed, after which the board moved on to the next agenda item.
