Hello fellow residents. We are currently updating the Thornbury Township Comprehensive Plan. For those who are unaware, each municipality in the Commonwealth updates their comprehensive plan every 10 years. Our last update was completed in 2004.
The Township body that is charged with the responsibility of drafting the plan is the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission gathers information from other Boards and Commissions in order to create the blueprint for the future of our Township. We gather information such as changes in population, new development, sewer expansion, as well as historical resources. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves the adoption of the updated plan.
This data gathering is a great opportunity to reflect on the past 10 years and evaluate the goals and objectives set forth in the 2004 plan. It also enables us to define the goals and objectives for the next ten years. Our 2004 comprehensive plan is located on our website. I would invite you to take a look and see how much has been accomplished since the last plan was adopted. For example, the Township has added 355 acres of open space since 2004.
Please send us your thoughts on what our new goals should be for the Township We welcome your input.
JeffSeagraves, township manager

My fellow Supervisors and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some information and comments.
The Township will be kicking off our Summer Events Series with FoundersDay on June 8th at Thornbury Park. This will be a fun-filled day and we hope you can join us for this one-of-a-kind event. Many thanks in advance to the Township staff and the many volunteers who help put this event together.
We have been very fortunate to have Sara Zang appointed as our first Junior Supervisor for the Township! Sara has done a great job and handles the position very well. We will be continuing with this program next year and look forward to another Rustin Student from the Township joining our team.
We held our 8thAnnualLocalGovernmentDay on April 17th, 83 students from Rustin joined the Board of Supervisors along with Junior Supervisor Sara Zang, Senator Ted Erickson, County Council members Colleen Marrone and Mario Civera, District Attorney Jack Whelan, Head of
CID Joe Ryan, District Judge Rich Cappelli, and Computer Forensic Specialist Michael Avella. The students learned all aspects of local government. Thanks to all those who made this day a great success.
In the latest edition of Philadelphia Magazine, Thornbury Township was selected one of the 15 “Hottest Places to Live” in Philadelphia and vicinity. This honor is a reflection of our overall community, and Thornbury continues to be a great place to live and raise our families. In closing, have a great summer, and we will see youaround town!

Rachel Kohl Library News
Sewage Management Programs (SMP)Septic systems, also called on-lot systems, are really sewage systems that treat and dispose of domestic sewage through natural processes. Liquid wastes from a treatment tank percolate through soils where it then becomes neutralized and further broken down. In contrast to a centralized system which collects and treats sewage from multiple homes and disposes of the sewage off-site, septic system operation and maintenance remains the responsibility of the homeowner. These on-lot systems have, in the past, been labeled as interim which often gave the illusion that eventually they would be replaced with public sewers. While in operation on-lot systems require specific operation and maintenance requirements which if not met, the system will either fail completely or function well below its capabilities. In either case, public health hazards or pollution problems will be the result. When public health hazards or pollution problems occur, the municipal government is legally responsible to find solutions.
Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities regulations, under Act 537, includes provisions for establishing legal, administrative and financial mechanisms for long term operation and maintenance of municipal sewage including on-lot sewage disposal systems or privately owned treatment facilities.
Today, many present and proposed Township ordinances provide for the regulation, inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation of on-lot sewage disposal systems and establish penalties and appeal procedures necessary for the proper administration of a sewage management program. Most Sewer Management Programs currently operating in Pennsylvania require the regular pumping of on-lot treatment tanks once every three years or whenever an inspection program reveals that the treatment tank is filled with solids or scum in excess of ¹/³ of the liquid depth of the tank. Requirements may also include holding tank maintenance and disposal.
Youth Reading Club & ActivitiesThis summer our youth reading club theme is “Dig into a Good Book!” We’ll have lots of fun activities, including a Dino Dig and real dinosaur bones! Science in the Summer will coming to the Library again with new online registration. We’ve just welcomed our new youth services librarian so pick up a calendar to see all of our new children’s activities!Adult Reading Club & Activities
“Gardening: Dig into a Good Book” will be our theme for adult summer reading. The popular Civil War Book Club will
be returning of a limited two-run series in the beginning of June and July. We also have the physical therapy center ActionPotential performing short lectures and health screenings the first Friday of every month at 1:00pm. Physical therapist Kristen Wilson will be doing a WalkingDeviceCheck on June 7 at 1:00pm. This will offer people the opportunity to bring their walkers and canes to be evaluated for proper height and working order.

Sewer Committee LetterIMPORTANT RULESFOR POOL SAFETY
Over 3,200 people drown each year. Many
are children ages one to four in residential
pools. There are rules that pool owners
should follow to prevent accidents and
decrease potential liability exposure.
• Install a fence around the pool area.
This will help prevent people from using
the pool without your knowledge and
keep small children and animals out.
This is also required by Township code
ordinance.
• Door alarms, locks and safety covers cre-
ate a barrier of protection.
• Never leave small children unsupervised in
or around the pool – even for a minute.
• Keep children away from pool filters.
The suction may injure or prevent them
from reaching the surface.
• Be sure all pool users know how to
swim. Teach your children to swim as
early as possible.
• Develop a buddy system – don’t swim
alone or allow others to swim alone.
• Don’t allow anyone who has been drink-
ing alcohol to swim in the pool.
• Never dive into an above ground pool.
Always check the water depth before
plunging into an in-ground pool.
• Don’t allow your children to let their
friends use the pool without your per-
mission and supervision.
• Don’t allow glass bottles or other poten-
tial hazards into the pool area.
• Keep radios, CD players, and other elec-
trical devices away from the pool.
• Keep a secure cover on the pool during
the off season.
• Keep a first aid kit, ring buoys and reach-
ing poles near the pool.
• Consider having adults and teens in your
home take first aid and CPR training.

KEEP OUR CREEKS CLEAN:TIPS FOR YARD WORK
Yard Maintenance Can Impact Water QualityLawn care, landscaping, and pest control
practices are major contributors to
storm water pollution. Rain flows across
yards, rooftops, paved areas, and picks
up dirt, leaves, grass clippings, garden
chemicals, and anything else in its path.
Then this polluted water flows directly
into the storm drain system. Nutrients
and other chemicals from yard waste can
cause excessive algae growth and toxin
production. Algae can rob the organisms
that live in our streams from the oxygen
they need to survive, not to mention
killing fish along the way. You can make a
difference!
Lawn Care
• Mow your lawn
so no more than
one-third of the
length of the
grass is removed.
• Leave the grass
blades on the lawn or compost.
• Sweep grass on all paved areas back on
the lawn.
• Only spot treat for weeds or not at all.
• Compost yard waste or participate in
municipal collection or drop-off.
Watering
• Do not over water. Excessive runoff
wastes both water and chemicals you
may have added to your yard.
• Direct downspouts to a depressed area
or a garden bed so the water soaks into
your yard instead of rushing out to the
street.

Planning Commission NewsSubdivision and Land Development:1. Crane Tract, Preliminary, Major Subdivision,
105 Stoney Bank Rd. Plans were recently
submitted and official discussions are
scheduled to begin on May 8. The plan
proposes to subdivide 55 acres into 29 lots,
27 being residential with 2 serving as open
space.
2. Edward Lawlor, Preliminary/Final 2-Lot
Subdivision, 4 Sweetbriar La. We discussed
this Preliminary/Final plan for a 6-acre
parcel, but there has been no recent action
on the part of the applicant, therefore this
application remains inactive. The plan
proposes to subdivide the property into 2
lots with no new dwellings.
3. Andover Preliminary/Final Plan for Lot Line
Change, Lot 1, 2 Fallbrook La. We discussed
this plan, and on April 10 the Planning
Commission recommended approval with
conditions to allow Lot 1’s rear lot line to be
extended to align with the adjacent lots.
4. Wills Prelim./Final 3-Lot Subdivision, 35
Locksley Rd. There has been no action on
the part of the applicant, and therefore this
application remains inactive.
5. Redding, Sketch 3-Lot Subdivision, 158
Locksley Rd. There has been no recent
action on the part of the applicant, and
therefore this application remains inactive.
Official discussions will begin once
preliminary plans for this 9.71 acre parcel
are received.
Ordinances:6. Comprehensive Plan: We have been
moving forward in our discussions. They
are currently focused on Chapter 1 “Table of
Contents/Introduction”, Chapter 3 “Existing
Conditions,” and Chapter 5 “Goals and
Objectives.”

Fertilizing
• Fertilize only when necessary or not
at all. Have your soil tested before
you apply. Visit www.soiltestinglab.
colostate.edu for more information.
• Do not fertilize if it the forecast calls for
rain in the next day or two.
Yard Design
• Consider installing a rain garden or a
rain water barrel and directing your roof
drains to it.
• Incorporate swales and berms to your
landscape so runoff is contained and
doesn’t leave your yard.
• Consider using bricks, flagstone, gravel,
and other porous
materials instead of
impervious surfaces,
such as sidewalks and
driveways.
• Add trees and shrubs
to capture and hold
rainwater before it
can reach the ground.
Irrigation Ditches and Creek Areas
• Keep a mowing and fertilizing buffer
around ditches and creeks so that
erosion and nutrient loading are
minimized.
Exterior Cleaning
• Use dry cleanup methods, such as a
broom and dust pan or leaf blower
whenever possible
• If you must use water, divert it to
landscaping where it can infiltrate.
Thank you for keeping our creeks clean!
KEEP OUR CREEKS CLEAN:TIPS FOR YARD WORK Updates from the Commission:
• We are making great progress collecting the Oral Histories.
• The Frazer Ruins Stabilization Project has entered the bidding process for stabilization and enhancement.
Historical Trivia: • First known use of the word Historic
was in 1594.• George Washington was a
Congressman from Virginia. Of the 56 signatures on the Declaration of Independence, what number signer was he? (Answser below.)
Lastly, we join Thornbury’s Historical Society in congratulating JimRaith for receiving the 24thLuckenbackAward. This prestigious award recognizes the efforts of individuals whose commitment to the preservation of the Historic Resources of our Township is worthy of acknowledgment and appreciation. Thank you and congratulations to Jim Raith!
Trivia Answser: George did not sign the Declaration of Independence, however, as President of the Constitutional Convention, he was the first signer of the Constitution.
Have you ever experience this? You’re Looking for a shortcut and minutes from a major highway you decide to take a turn onto a smaller less travelled road. Hmmm… where does this road go? After passing through great scenery, wondering where you are, you wind up in a small village full of historical buildings. Some of us may have just found a new place to spend some time, while others just drive thru knowing not to turn down that road again. Beautiful Downtown Thornton is one of those small towns you can come across that way.
This small town and surrounding community boasts 204 documented Historical Properties with 488 Associated Resources. Most are in good repair, are well treated by their current owners and all are protected by a Historic Preservation Ordinance our Township chose to implement years ago. We are indebted to the owners of these properties for their diligence. Without their caring, we would lose much of our history. It takes special people to care enough to protect these resources. Thank them if you get a chance. They help to make this community a more desirable one in which to live.
