The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will host a public meeting from 6 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 19 at the St. Clair Elementary/Middle School, 227 S. Mill St., St. Clair, to answer questions regarding the Blythe Recycling and Demolition Site in Blythe Township.
BRADS is a construction and demolition waste landfill off Burma Road, east of St. Clair.
DEP has two applications under review for the facility. BRADS is asking to continue accepting construction and demolition waste for an additional 10 years. BRADS has also applied to increase its daily waste acceptance limit from 1,500 tons per day to 3,000 tons per day, according to DEP.
Those wishing to ask questions should submit a written notice to Maria Ocasio, Environmental Justice coordinator, at mocasio@pa.gov or to DEP’s Bethlehem District Office, 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017.
Written notices will be accepted until the date of the meeting.
Each attendee will be allowed to ask two questions and one follow-up question. Once attendees have been given the opportunity to ask their questions, and if time allows, each person can ask one final question. Individuals who preregister to ask questions will be given priority on the agenda. Those who have not preregistered to ask questions can sign up at the meeting.
Those with a disability who wish to ask questions and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation should contact Colleen Connolly, 570-826-2511 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 800-654-5984 to discuss how the department can meet their needs.
