______________________________________________________
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.
