Council approves Lakeside sludge removal permit application; developer to cover costs

Mar 5, 2025

The council unanimously approved a permit application allowing Lakeside sludge to be hauled to Easton Utilities, noting the town’s permit currently covers only hauling from Easton to Trappe; the developer will be financially responsible for associated costs.

The full story

James Cook of Rauch explained that sludge at the Lakeside treatment plant must be hauled to Easton Utilities every six to eight months and that Trappe’s existing permit allows hauling from Easton to Trappe but not the reverse. Cook said the town and Trappe East are both on the discharge permit, so the submitted application names both entities and assigns developer responsibility for costs.
