  • Council met in a Regular Meeting sessi

    Hazleton, PA
    Minutes

    Hazleton City Council held a regular meeting on September 10, 2024, where Alterra Recycling Co. presented plans to establish an advanced plastics recycling facility at the old Dorr-Oliver Building, a brownfield site in an industrial zone. The $300 million project would generate approximately 100 permanent jobs and 150-170 construction jobs over three years, processing 80,000 tons of plastic annually while operating under EPA regulations and the Clean Air Act. The company has secured written support from CAN DO, the United Mine Workers, Mayor Cusat's office, and Congressman Cartwright's office, and addressed council concerns about noise and odor by noting strict regulatory compliance and plans for rail-based outbound shipping with no truck traffic.

    Pocono Township, Pennsylvania held a meeting on March 3, 2026 with township officials and representatives from Core 5 Blasting, construction contractors, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and blast monitoring consultants to discuss blasting operations at the Muschlitz site. Key points addressed included confirmation that all blasts remain well below DEP allowable thresholds and permit limits, with seismograph data provided as verification; the township is installing four seismograph monitoring points despite permit requirements for only one; and air horn alerts are intended for on-site worker safety rather than public notification, though vibration limits are set to prevent structural damage to nearby properties. The meeting emphasized that ground vibration regulatory limits have been established to ensure that any off-site vibrations will not cause cosmetic damage to interior finishes, which are the most sensitive indicators of blast impact.
