COLUMBIA HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE (CHNA)
The CHNA steering committee meets monthly to share information and discuss strategy in preparation for when the Gan Eden Estates project next appears on the agenda of the Town of Thompson Planning Board for review or action.
The developer of Gan Eden Estates must submit a new DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) to the Town of Thompson Planning Board for public review and comment. The statement which must address environmental factors and concerns can then be considered for approval and acceptance. If accepted, the Planning Board will then review the applicant’s site plan application which will require another public hearing before approval to allow site work to commence.
The developer’s application to the Delaware River Basin Commission for a groundwater withdrawal project to supply a proposed public water supply system is still pending.
Visit CHNA at www.columbiahill.org and on Facebook to learn how you can help to protect your environment and your community by demanding sustainable development.
