On April 1, DEP issued a technical deficiency letter in response to Synagro's application for general permit for its proposed facility in Plainfield Township. This follows a technical deficiencies letter dated March 22, for an application to modify Grand Central Sanitary Landfill's permit to accommodate the Synagro facility.
Of interest is DEP attached a letter from a concerned citizen, and requested that Synagro issue a response to the stated concerns.
The purpose of this blog is to document solid waste and water extraction projects that do not meet zoning requirements or are just very poorly conceived, in an effort to protect the rights and health, safety and welfare of neighboring landowners and residents. The initial project was Nestlé Waters in Kunkletown, Eldred Township. Later, the Synagro biosolids in Plainfield Township - the "Slate Belt Heat Recovery Center" was our focus. We all live downstream.

Plainfield Township publishes lengthy list of outstanding deficiencies and recommended conditions if Synagrio land development plan receives conditional approval
Tonight, Plainfield Township planners may vote on the Synagro crap bakery land development plan that has been before them since February 2018, and a site plan for the same project since October 2016. Currently, the township Board of Supervisors has a deadline of May 31 to vote on this application.
In advance of the meeting, the township manager has submitted a memorandum to the planning commission, which summarizes outstanding deficiencies in the land development plan - zoning and stormwater issues for example.
There is also a lengthy list of conditions suggested, in the event the planning commission were to recommend conditional approval. This list provides the planners with a framework, in the event they choose to not recommend against approval.
In this observer's opinion, the planners could use the summary of deficiencies as a framework for recommending denial of the application.
Note 1: the memorandum incorporates several consultant letters. One letter from Material Matters was apparently received after the memorandum was composed, and it is at the bottom of this page.
Note 2: The DEP has issued a deficiencies letter on the application for the general permit for this facility. It is located here.
Note 3: The DEP on May 11 issued a notice that it intends to issue the Air Quality permit for the facility. It is at this link.
