We will be doing some earthwork over a period of time on the property along Route 41 to excavate soil so that we can take it to the landfill to cover the trash received. When we do this work, we will first remove the topsoil and stockpile it on the property. After the subsoils are removed, we will then replace the topsoil so that farming can again take place.
The first phase of this project will run until approximately summer 2021. During this time, a contractor will be using several pieces of heavy equipment to dig the soil and dump trucks to take it to the landfill. Our plan, developed with London Grove Township, and the Chester County Conservation District, is to get the majority of the soil moved quickly to minimize any potential impacts. Work will take place during a typical 7am-5pm workday. When the first phase is complete, we plan on using one or two pieces of our own heavy equipment and a dump truck to move the soil with our own employees.
Below is a graphical representation on what we are doing.This same information is placed on a sign located at the entrance of the property near Route 41. It is important to note that this plan eliminates the proposed playing fields that were previously proposed along London Grove Road. It is also important to note that this property will never be used for waste disposal.
