West Penn Township officials are reviewing its revised sewage facilities plan before submitting it to the state Department of Environmental Protection.

Rather than adopt an ordinance for its Act 537 plan this week, supervisors instead chose not to take any action on the matter so that it can review the resolution.Walker Township supervisors met last week and chose not to take any action until March 2 because they received the resolutions and updates to the plan just before their meeting.Walker officials said they wanted to take time to review the updates.West Penn Supervisor Ted Bogosh said he "wondered if it might be prudent to review ours."Supervisor Tony Prudenti said he wasn't prepared to sign off on anything at this time.All three board members said they had some reservations with parts of the resolution.Last month, officials from both municipalities conducted a joint meeting to review the plan, and to discuss any additional comments before submission to DEP.At that time, Charles Myers, engineer from Rettew Associates Inc. said the next step was for both townships to adopt their ordinances.Everything after the submission is based on DEP's approval of the plan.Myers said the preferred plan is an on-lot disposal system because there are no big infrastructure costs.Walker Township engineer Dave Horst previously said there were 30 units, 24 in West Penn, and six in Walker, that the plan identifies as potentially needing a community on-lot sewage disposal.He said of the units in West Penn, 12 are in South Tamaqua, six in Andreas, four in Clamtown, and two in Snyders; while the remaining six are in Reynolds in Walker.As part of that plan, the 30 residences would either repair or replace their current system.DEP wants a solution presented in the plan for every user. If there are any users that cannot do on-lot systems, they have to have access to a community system.
