Palmerton plans to take the next step over stormwater drainage concerns expressed by its Municipal Authority against Northface Development.

After an executive session, borough council on a 6-0 vote Thursday agreed to have Attorney Armin Feldman address the stormwater concerns.

“The Municipal Authority currently has a complaint against Northface that was triggered by damage to one of our water facilities within their property,” Borough Manager Donna McGarry said. “The Authority’s attorney asked if council would like the complaint amended to include council’s concerns about the stormwater drainage system that currently exists on that property, that has been covered by soil and no longer accessible.”

Councilman Michael Ballard was absent.
