To construct and maintain 22,069 linear feet of stream restoration/enhancement within Bald Eagle Creek (north) (12,381 linear feet), Bell Hollow Run (800 linear feet), Reese Hollow Run (3,759 linear feet) and Williams Hollow Run (4,069 linear feet) using a natural stream channel design approach including the installation of in-stream structures (5 rock vanes, 6 cross vanes, 20 J-hooks, 2 flow deflector vanes, 2 imbricated stone banks, 28 boulders, 15 areas of stone toe protection, 16 streambank soil lift areas and 1 root wad area), channel relocation, stream and floodway excavation and filling, 8 stone channel crossings, 8 hog slat channel crossings, 20,601 linear feet of stream bank fencing and riparian plantings. The project is being constructed to provide mitigation for stream impacts associated with the U. S. Route 220 (I-99) project, construction sections C10, A11, C11, A12, B12 and C12. Mitigation is being performed in accordance with the procedures and environmental commitments of the U. S. Route 220 Natural Resource Compensation Plan and as required by DEP Permits E14-420 (C10), E14-402 (A11), E14-367 (C11), E14-403 (A12), E14-349 (B12) and E14-371 (C12).
Stream restoration/enhancement activities will be performed on four reaches of Bald Eagle Creek: Reach 1 (Beckwith and Bell Hollow Run Site: begin lat. 40° 46` 02" long. 78° 05` 51" end lat. 40° 46` 26" long. 78° 05` 14"); Reach 2 (Liner Site: begin lat. 40° 46` 31 long. 78° 05` 12" end lat. 40° 46` 49" long. 78° 04` 48"); Reach 3 (Port Matilda Borough Site: begin lat. 40° 47` 40" long. 78° 03` 29" end lat. 40° 47` 56" long. 78° 03` 00"); Reach 4 (Valley Homes Site: begin lat. 40° 48` 58" long. 78° 01` 56" end lat. 40° 49` 02" long. 78° 01` 49"), tributaries to Bald Eagle Creek (Reese Hollow No. 1: begin lat. 40° 47` 59" long. 78° 05` 49" end lat. 40° 47` 46" long. 78° 05` 37", Reese Hollow No. 2: begin lat. 40° 47` 33" long. 78° 05` 20" end lat. 40° 47` 24" long. 78° 04` 58" and Williams Hollow: begin lat. 40° 50` 03" long. 78° 02` 00" end lat. 40° 49` 29" long. 78° 01` 12").
The stream mitigation project will impact 1.16 acres of riparian palustrine emergent wetlands. Wetland impacts are associated with placement of fill, streambank grading and construction of at-grade crossings for the purpose of limiting stream access points for property owners and livestock. The stream improvements will involve minor grading within the floodplain of the northern Bald Eagle Creek and its tributaries. The grading will involve 15,794 cubic yards of excavation (cut) and 11,728 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain, which corresponds to the construction activities resulting in a net excavation of 4,066 cubic yards for the project. The project improvements will provide opportunity for wetlands to reestablish along the stream floodplains.
