McCue: The Chester County Planning Commission has rerriewed the revised Draft 537 Plan dated April 2000. The revisions in this draft were in response to comments received by the Borough from the various reviewing agencies including the County Planning Commission to your initial submission of a draft Plan in February 1999. In our leffer of April 19, 1999, we raised two major issues regarding the initial draft: one, regarding the manner in which the estimated fuh.re capacity needs were determined; and two, the consideration of altemative disposal solutions "outside" the boundaries of the Borough. In reviewing of the document and the accompanying cover letter from Spotts, Stevens and McCoy, Inc., we aclcrowledge that those two issues have been considered and included in the revised Plan. We also aclanowledee that our several other more technical comments have been addressed, as well. We are pleased to see that there have been discussions befween Borough and London Grove Township officials regarding the possibility of sending some of the effluent from your lreafment facility to the Township's spray system if it is expanded in the future. We encourage you to continue this discussion. Should the Township and the Borough wish to pursue this approach, such a project would be eligible to apply to the Counfy for a grant to assist in the purcbase of land to be used for spray fields. Thank you for the opporfunity to revicw this rcvised draft Plan. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to call us. , Futtnn, AI{,f Director WHF/WWC/kp cc: Glenn Stinson, PADEP Ralph DeFazio, Chester CounFy Health Dept.
