📣We wanted to give a year-end update about progress on the new shelter in Sewickley Township.

On Tuesday, December 10th, the Sewickley Township Planning Board gave approval for the design of the waste management system to be used at the new shelter. This was an important hurdle to be cleared prior to starting construction and it took most of this year to complete. The system will include two underground 5000 gallon holding tanks; one for animal waste (mostly wastewater from cleaning the dog kennels and cat cages) and one for human waste (mostly wastewater from washing dishes, toilet flushes, and doing laundry). We will contract with a sanitation company to come periodically and pump out the tanks for processing at a nearby treatment plant.
The next step is to obtain preliminary approval by the Board of our building and site plans, which we expect to occur next month. This approval will allow Pet Friends to submit a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit application to the state for review and approval. NPDES Permits are a national program, but they are approved at the state level and are required before an organization can obtain a building permit for most commercial facilities, including our shelter. Once the NPDES permit is granted and we get our building permit, we can start in earnest on the construction process including identifying the companies who will actually build the shelter.

👀 Look for more updates after the first of the year. We are hoping that we clear future hurdles at a much quicker pace than the sewage one.
