Supervisors approve amended holding‑tank agreement for Daniels property in 2–1 vote

The Salem Township Board on Nov. 19 moved to approve a holding‑tank agreement for the property of James and Theresa Daniels but amended the agreement’s language to say the site 'may not' accommodate an on‑lot sewage system rather than declaring it 'cannot.' The amendment was moved by Bob Zundel, seconded by Ken Trumbetta, and passed by a 2–1 vote; Supervisor Kerry Jobe voted no and asked to see finalized paperwork before the next meeting.

Solicitor Atty. Falatovich explained that the township’s agreement language should reflect that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) must confirm whether an on‑lot system is feasible; the planning module and the proposed holding‑tank agreement will be submitted to DEP together. Daniels' engineer Holly Lorenzo asked that the documents be signed that night; James Daniels said, "I don't need to see it. Just put it through Gary." Resident Connie Mattei questioned whether the planning module and holding‑tank agreement are separate actions; the solicitor said DEP requires a holding‑tank agreement to be submitted with the planning module as an exhibit, and the board approved the agreement as amended to allow submission.
