Chanceford supervisors approve stormwater site plan for new poultry operation on Glen Allen School Road
Summary
The Chanceford Township Board approved a stormwater management site plan for a proposed poultry operation at 3147 Glen Allen School Road, after resolving a boundary issue and confirming a surety; the vote was unanimous.
The Chanceford Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a final stormwater management (SWM) site plan for a proposed poultry operation at 3147 Glen Allen School Road during its March 9 meeting.
Kent Heffner, the board chairman, said the plan—proposed by Jere Hoover—covers a 53.37-acre parcel. He noted boundary issues raised during the review were resolved with an updated plan set before the board voted to grant final approval. Heffner moved for approval; Vice-Chairman Bradley Smith seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
The board recorded that four waivers had been granted in an earlier review and that a surety amount was set at $183,924.00. Engineer Grant Anderson and the solicitor reviewed outstanding technical items during the meeting and confirmed stormwater installation requirements were addressed in the updated plan.
Why it matters: the approval clears a key local permitting step for a sizable agricultural operation that will involve stormwater controls and required municipal surety. The board did not discuss construction schedule or operational details at the meeting; those items were not specified in the record.
What’s next: the approval is final for the township’s SWM and site-plan requirements; any additional permits or state agency approvals noted in the file (such as PA DEP actions) remain separate prerequisites.
