Yesterday, the House Environmental and Natural Resource Protection Committee held a hearing on “stream impairment,” with testimony blaming agricultural runoff as one of the main contributors to impairment.

First and foremost, our farmers here in the Northern Tier and across the Commonwealth have gone above and beyond to significantly reduce runoff.

Now our farmers need this committee to step up and move forward legislation that would allow our communities to clear debris from our streams to prevent the kind of catastrophic flooding that has washed countless acres of farmland into our streams!

If you’d like to see the committee take action on Senate Bill 403 or House Bill 327, contact Chairman Greg Vitali’s office at 717-787-7647 and respectfully encourage him to call up the bills!

An important notice regarding Richmond Township's recycling program: adherence to guidelines is essential. Unfortunately, cardboard has been incorrectly placed in plastic containers. Residents bringing items after hours are asked to deposit them loose in the containers. Regrettably, our team had to remove contaminated items today. Plastic bags left in the shed are not collected. Continued disregard may necessitate changes to our program due to NTSWA compliance requirements.
