Grant Awarded to North Newton Township, Vance Says
HARRISBURG – A $414 Host Municipal Inspector Grant recently was awarded to North Newton Township, said Sen. Pat Vance (R-Cumberland/York).
"North Newton Township should be commended for having its own inspector for the Cumberland County Landfill," Vance said. "This gives the Department of Environmental Protection an extra set of eyes in ensuring all requirements are being met. In addition, through this grant the state is able to offset some of the costs associated with having an inspector."
The Host Municipal Inspector Grant reimburses 50 percent of the cost of employing a host municipal inspector. Municipalities that host municipal waste landfills, resource recovery (waste-to-energy) facilities and commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities can employ host municipality inspectors. These inspectors are trained and certified by DEP. They are authorized to enter property, review records required by the department, take samples and perform inspections.
Vance's district includes all of Cumberland County and Carroll, Fairview, Franklin, Monaghan, Warrington and Washington townships and Dillsburg, Franklintown and Wellsville boroughs in York County.Home | Profile | News | Multimedia | Photo Gallery | District Info | Constituent Services | Contact Me | Office Staff | Senate Resources | State Resources | Federal Resources | Senior Resources | Veterans Resources | Kids Resources | Search
