ARMENIA TWP. - Township supervisors recently discussed dust control in
the township.
During their meeting this week, supervisors agreed to have supervisor
Leon Putnam contact Talisman to see if the company will again provide
dust control on the roads this year. Talisman covered the main roads
last year, township secretary Mallory Babcock said.
Supervisors agreed to put down a calcium mixture on the roads that would
not be covered by Talisman.
"They're talking about putting it down about 200 feet in front of each
residence," Babcock said. The township would pay for this, she said.
It was noted that the erosion problem on Mountain Avenue has been
resolved and the sluice pipe to be put in by the Morgans' property on
Mountain Avenue has been delivered and it will be installed in the near
future.
Babcock said the township has sent out acceptance letters to Cross
Excavating, which was awarded the bid for gravel, and Matthews Trucking,
which was awarded the bid for cinders.
Babcock noted the township has received a letter announcing the schedule
for environmental review for a natural gas pipeline project in the
township.
The taxpayers' picnic will be held the last Sunday in July in the
township, but a location hasn't been decided yet and will be announced
in the future.
Four road crossing permits were issued in May to Tennessee Gas, the
supervisors learned.
Matt Riel of AES told the supervisors that the wind farm operations are
going well. He added that a semi-annual maintenance cycle is done. In
addition, he said that, during the last high winds, the wind generators
shut down, which they are designed to do.
