Bald Eagle Supers Discuss Sewer Agreement, Road Weight Limits, Other Items
By Christopher Miller
BALD EAGLE TOWNSHIP – Bald Eagle Township Supervisors met last Monday evening for their monthly meeting.
Township Supervisors spoke with John Gallagher of the Sewer Board to discuss a future review and renewal of the sewer agreement. The current agreement was uncovered as out of date and sewer board representatives and township supervisors will meet to discuss and renew the agreement.
Supervisors briefly brought up the Supervisor Pay Ordinance, the first ordinance of 2025 for the township. In the ordinance, an increased pay rate will be available for supervisors effective upon their re-election. This will not take effect until January 2026.
A number of new business items were also discussed including a needed stream study and survey to get exact materials costs for a road project, with options from the county conservation district to fund it.
Recent core drilling tests revealed updated actual weight limits for three roads in the township. Plunket Run Road will have a limit of 15 tons, Orner Road will have a limit of 20 tons, and Keystone Central Drive will have a limit of 15 tons in the near future. An ordinance is needed for the updated road weight limits to be enforceable. The weight limits for the roads in their entirety will be voted on at a future meeting.
A resident of Shade Hollow Road recently asked township supervisors if a couple of unique parcels of ground could be available for sale along the road.
“We would consider selling the land owned by the township, but will have to put it out for sealed bid,” township supervisor Steve Tasselli said. “The property is along a possible future road project, and we would like to add something into the sale saying that road crews could access the property for future stream work, or we could put this out for sale upon completion of the dirt and gravel study for the road project.”
Lastly, supervisors voted to allow residents to collect up to five gallon buckets of stone and millings from the township building.
“Flemington Borough allows residents to contact the quarry, purchase and pay for stone, and then the borough charges for a delivery via one of their trucks, but we do not want to sell any products or services,” Tasselli said.
There were no updates on the Wawa or Take 5 projects.
