In Plainfield Township, two candidates who oppose expanding the township's solid waste district, were elected on Tuesday. Glenn Borger (R) and Don Moore (D) received the top highest vote totals. Here is a local article on the outcome (click to read):
This blog was named the Poop and Water Extraction Blog, partially in recognition of the failed Synagro sludge processing plant proposal ca. 2016. That project, to be located on Grand Central Sanitary Landfill property, and in which Green Knight Economic Development Corporation was a partner, was inappropriately sited initially in the wrong zoning district on Mr. Cornman's watch as both the Green Knight Synagro Project Coordinator and Planning Commission Vice Chairman. Then it was proposed at an environmentally inappropriate site within feet of a very large quarry pond.
Expansion of the solid waste zoning district would allow a new landfill to be constructed when the current one is full, and also the potential for a new sludge processing company to partner on a project with Green Knight in the future, free from the issues that the quarry pond presented. Voters apparently believe that Plainfield Township deserves to be known for something other than solid waste uses. Bob Cornman, the Vice President of Green Knight, did not succeed in getting onto the Board of Supervisors in an off-year election.
