Because this project affected local wetlands, mitigation measures were completed. These measures were coordinated with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers throughout final design and construction.

Wetland mitigation for this project was completed through the construction of a wetland replacement site at the Loyalhanna Creek property owned and managed by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. The wetland mitigation site  includes two areas within the same USACE property:  Sanderson Site includes approximately 2.8 acres of replacement wetlands; and the B08-B10 Wetland includes 4.4 acres of replacement wetlands.

The Car-Top Boat Launch project is underway to fulfill a mitigation commitment for the S.R. 22 Section B07, B08, B09, and B10. The purpose of the project is to provide a gated access point and parking area for recreational boating (car-top light craft) in the Conemaugh River Lake.  Please see the Car-Top Boat Launch link for additional information and pictures.
