Board approves sewage‑planning module for 3268 Barley Lane addition
Summary
Supervisors approved a sewage‑facilities planning module needed for an addition at 3268 Barley Lane; the module revises the township's Act 537 plan to document an alternate reserve site and moves the submission to county and DEP review. Planning commission recommended approval 5–0.
The Worcester Township Board of Supervisors voted to approve a sewage‑facilities planning module component for review related to an addition at 3268 Barley Lane.
Manager Dan Dimino and engineer Michelle Fountain explained that the county health department and DEP review the technical side of on‑lot systems; the township’s role is to verify consistency with the municipal Act 537 sewage facilities plan. Fountain said the planning commission recommended approval 5‑0 and that the review confirms the site has adequate space for a reserve area if the existing septic mound fails in the future. The board moved, seconded and approved the module to allow the applicant to proceed with county and state review.
Michelle noted the submission will add an additional equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) and that the county health department determined the property can connect to the existing system rather than construct a new system immediately. This vote updates the township planning tool (Act 537) so the county/state technical review may proceed.
