Tell DCNR to Oppose Alpine Rose
In a 2 to 1 vote Eldred Township Supervisors granted final plan approval to Alpine Rose Resorts.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Northeast Regional Offices have suggested that we send letters voicing our concerns related to the Alpine Rose Resorts racetrack to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
Despite significant changes from preliminary plan to final plan, without the information that an impartial third party economic impact study would have provided, and despite the evidence provided by the developer that he cannot meet the 5dBa noise limit set by Monroe County Judge R. Vican with 25 cars on the track a decrease by half of the number of cars that the developer based his economic impact study on, the Eldred Township Supervisors granted final plan approval.
Final Plan approval is conditioned on the pending litigation based on the noise impact to the Appalachian Trail and the Pennsylvania Trails Act.
Approval also hinges on the developers ability to obtain permits from the DEP for his Sewage Disposal Facility and his pre and post storm water management.
I urge each
and everyone of you to contact the DEP and let them know how wrong this
project is for this area. You can direct your letters to Kate Crowley

We must continue to fight, this project has not reached the stage in which it can begin development. The DEP is willing to listen and we will have our day in court November 2nd. Thank you all for your continued support
