Ordinance 66 - EAC

• CONSERVATION RESERVE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM Support REAP, another important conservation program for Pennsylvania. What can landowners in Pennsylvania do to protect water quality in the rivers and streams that flow into the Chesapeake Bay? One option is to make their streamside property or farmland more conservation-friendly. The state's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) provides funding for them to do so. Learn More about CREP 1-800-941-CREP or creppa.org

Environmental Advisory Councils are appointed volunteers at work protecting the environment through project implementation, site plan and ordinance review, community education and much more.

PURPOSE: The Nockamixon Township EAC works to protect our natural resources through careful review of proposed projects and by creating and supporting enforcement of township ordinances and zoning laws with regard to benefiting the environment. This council makes recommendations to the planning commission and the board of supervisors based on its observations, research, and analysis of local environmental situations.

WHAT DO EACS DO

In accordance with Pennsylvanias Act 177, EACs are authorized to:
Identify environmental problems and recommend plans and programs to protect and improve the quality of the environment;

• Make recommendations about the use of open land;
• Promote a community environmental program;
• Keep an index of all open space areas to determine the proper use
  of such areas;
• Review plans, conduct site visits, and prepare reports for
  municipal officials; and
• Advise local government agencies about the acquisition of property.
  

WHAT DON'T EACS DO

• EACs do not regulate; they are advisory only.
• EACs do not take the place of or compete with planning commissions
  or park and recreation boards; they augment and work closely with them.
• EACs are not activist or extremist environmental groups- they are
  part of the local government and accomplish the most when they work well with local officials.
• EACs do not compete with local grass-roots organizations, such as
  watershed associations. They are contact points and local government liaisons for these groups.
• EACs do not add bureaucracy to the local government- they have an
  organized procedure for participating in land use decisions.
