ACT 537 - STATUS REPORT - Ralph Watters, DTMA reported that Derry Township is caught up to where Conewago Township is in our planning and design. Ralph spoke with engineers to sec where they arc with design and all the sewage piping is finished and they are now working on pump stations. The schedule we are working for is that the design be done by end of August, 2002, DEP approval for the extension by end of September, 2002. We also will advertise bids for job by end of September, contract by end of October and the project underway by December, 2002. The one thing that could hold DTMA up is that they did not receive right-of-way plans for Conewago's Township portion for couple of houses. Mr. Watters is also keeping any eye on where to locate the large pumping station off Roundtop Road. Mr. Watters does not know where Dowhower's are in their planning process and we would not have that piece of land available. The Township Engineer received Dowhower preliminary plan for review today and they will be on Planning Commission Agenda for June. The discussion the township engineer had with them is they will follow-up quickly with final plan by September. Mr. Watters is contemplating a mailing to Deny Twp. residents regarding update on project, to let them know where they arc. A letter could be supplied for Conewago residents. The next thing is for DTMA is to get Intermunicipal Agreement by July or August, between Conewago Township and DTMA.

Kelly Fridey, Parcel 22-2-112, used Peterson Bros. who are not on our approved pumpers list, to pump and inspect her septic system. They were sent paperwork to get on our list, but are not certified to fill out all the onlot sewage papers. She has 3 tanks and didn't want to pay again, but she wanted Walter's to fill out paperwork for her. Walter's wanted to know if it was all right to fill out pumping papers, if he didn't do the pumping. Walter's doesn't feel comfortable doing that, and the Board said they could not give permission for him to do that, if he didn't actually do the pumping. Kelly will have papers filled out properly even if she has to pay someone else to do.
