Chrin Landfill Expansion Dispute Goes to Commonwealth Court

Late last month, Judge Emil Giordano dismissed two lawsuits aimed at stopping the Chrin landfill expansion in Williams Township. Yesterday, Bethlehem Attorney Don Miles, who represents the Committee to Save Williams Township, appealed that ruling to Commonwealth Court. Miles insists that public notice of the expansion was inadequate, and that the agreement to rezone was illegal.

  1. maybe we can dump our trash in their backyard. That landfill was there when it was an unlined dump, and now it is a state of the art landfill and I believe it is even off of the superfund list. It provides a lot of tax dollars to our residents keeping Wms. Twsp. taxes very low.

    The people living in the golf course development should know that their land was slated for a landfill as well.

    Chrin is as good a neighbor as you can get and he was here long before the naysayers. Didn't they do their due diligence when they bought their house?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
