I'm just being a bad neighbor, he's just running his trash business, yep, heard it all from the Township supervisors over the years, yet I'm not the one violating Township ordinances or a State Laws by running a junk yard along Route 6.

The area outlined in black, minus that 40' storage trailer, was the original size and scope of the old body shop that closed it's business in 2005. Where the upper earth work and new buildings are was a nice, permeable slope of grass and trees. Was that way for years before I moved into my house in 1989. The the property was sold to the current owner and tons of earth have been moved and brought in as non permeable soil which has done nothing but cause millions of gallons of silt water to run through my property and some of it into my well.

And let's not forget the hundreds of junked vehicles that have been crushed and torn apart. The gallons of illegal fluids being drop to the ground and allowed to, well, flow downhill.

And now, the beautiful piece of property has it's own 'cul-de-sac'. See the new addition on the right? Another entrance to this illegal business and I'm in the process of seeing if this was legally put in. All entrances onto State or Federal highways require a 'highway occupancy permit' issued by PennDot. Something tells me a permit wasn't applied for, given the propensity of dis regard of the law, but only time will tell. If it was applied for and approved, then PennDot is in violation of a State law that says junk/salvage yards can not be in operation within 2,000 feet of a highway.

So, for the residents of Hamlin Township who keep electing folks that don't have the nerve to uphold the law, we'll just have to see how much their resistance to doing the job they were elected to do is going to cost all of us. I hate to move to the courts, but since I'm still being ignored it's looking like I'm going to have no choice. It will most likely cost thousands of our dollars to defend a suit...and for what? I still have not been contacted by any supervisor about this matter.
