Ohio EPA Awards Goshen Township $57,000 in Grant Funding

5/28/2025

Goshen Township New Permanent Salt Bin
Goshen Township's New Permanent Salt Bin

Funding from H2Ohio Rivers Chloride Reduction Grant Program

​In May of 2024, Goshen Township was awarded $57,000 in grant funding by Ohio EPA’s new H2Ohio Rivers Chloride Reduction Grant Program. This funding was used to build a permanent salt bin for maintenance of township roads. 

​The H2Ohio Rivers Program is an expansion of Governor DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative. Part of the program is to reduce excessive road salt usage and encourage communities and jurisdictions responsible for winter road and surface maintenance to adopt salt best management practices. Applicants for these grants were able to apply for funding for either new salt equipment or storage facility construction to help alleviate costs to local governments across Ohio. 


In May 2024, Ohio EPA announced 31 communities received $1.6 million in funding during the first round, which had over 260 applicants. 

Recent water quality testing has shown that Ohio’s waterways are seeing an increase in salt concentrations, primarily due to the use of road salt. Salt can also cause nutrients and metals to detach from sediment, decreasing water quality. There are many drinking water facilities across the state that utilize river water for their source of drinking water. Water that is contaminated with road salt requires additional treatment. Additionally, road salt can cause issues with corrosion in pipes, valves, and other drinking water equipment.  Road salt also corrodes infrastructure like bridges and shortens the life of paved surfaces.
​

Ohio EPA is excited about Goshen Township’s commitment to reducing salt in their community and protecting Ohio’s waterways.

​Village of Mechanicsburg Street Department Brush Pick up
 
Brush pick up is provided as a free service to our residents who are cleaning up the yard around their homes.  Brush is picked up on Monday.
 
Leaf pickup begins the first Monday in October and ends the first Friday in December. Any leaves not captured within these dates will need bagged for pick-up.

Brush cannot be larger than 4” in diameter or longer than 4’ long and must be in manageable bundles.
 
No yard waste. (Grass clippings, sod, leaf’s etc.).  No plastic bags. 
 
Do not blow grass clippings into the street.  This washes into the catch basins and causes them to clog.
 
No thorns, briars, or poison ivy in bundles.
 
We will not pick up trimmings done by a private contractor.  They are required to haul away their own debris.
 
Do not place brushes in the street.  Please place the brush between the street and sidewalk.  The debris could clog our storm sewers if it is placed in the street.
 
No trash.  (Building materials, fence post, shingles etc).
 
No stumps or bushes with root balls
 
Any piles not adhering to the rules will be rejected and will not be reconsidered for pick up.
 
Per Ordinance 16-06 Prohibiting disposal of leaves and other waste matter into storm sewers within the Village:
 
Residents will be warned for disposing grass clippings into the gutters while mowing and any other violations will be documented and can be charged with a minor misdemeanor for each day of non-compliance.

Street Resurfacing Begins This Week

9/28/2021

0 Comments

 
The village of Mechanicsburg will have several streets resurfaced this week.  Due to weather and Covid both projects, after cancellations, have converged and will begin Wednesday, September 29th early in the morning. 

First project is Lynn, School and East Race St.  This Micro surfacing will cause all three streets to be completely shut down.  Process will require a curing time of 4-6 hours after application.  While we realize that this will be an inconvenience for some we ask for your patience.  Use the alleys to get as close to your residence as possible.  Our Street Department has distributed flyers and posted no parking signs in the area. 
​
Second project is on the west side of town.  This is a chip/tar resurfacing project.  There is no street parking in that area and will not cause as much disruption as the east side project.  Once the tar is laid and the stone is down it can be immediately used.  We ask that you use caution around the workers and equipment for your safety and theirs.  There will be flaggers in that area.
Please be kind to all the workers and use caution in the work areas.  We are short staffed due to illness and will do our very best to make sure this all goes smoothly.
