Council reopens debate over park dump site, requests site visit
Summary
Councilors debated allowing ABC to dump clean fill at the borough park and whether to move the dump location near the basketball court; members requested an on-site visit to assess tree removal, road damage risks, and materials permitted (clean fill only).
Councilors reopened discussion about permitting ABC to deposit clean fill at the borough park. Ms. Barcelona asked whether ABC should be allowed to "dump in the same location or further up the hill by the basketball court," stressing concerns about push‑off onto a neighboring property and possible tree removal if the site were relocated.
Mr. McCorkle said the borough sometimes receives stone or cold‑patch and noted there is no formal agreement or expectation of quid pro quo; the council also sought clarification from Mr. Lint on DEP liability and county permitting, and agreed an on‑site visit to the proposed dump landing would help inform a decision.
