E14-484. Houtzdale Municipal Authority, 561 Kirk Street, Houtzdale, PA 16651-1209. Moshannon Creek and Henderson Area Water System Improvements Rush Township, Centre County, ACOE Baltimore District (Houtzdale, PA Quadrangle N: 6.92 inches; W: 12.85 inches).
To construct, operate and maintain a surface water intake, raw water transmission lines and treated drinking water distribution lines to extend and supplement the Houtzdale Municipal Authority's existing public drinking water supplies. Construction of the surface water intake, raw water transmission lines and treated drinking water distribution lines will result in a raw water transmission line crossing Moshannon Creek (TSF). Raw water transmission and treated drinking water distribution lines shall be installed beneath streambeds so there will be a minimum of 3 feet of cover between the top of the pipe and the lowest point in the streambed or concrete encased. Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every waterway and wetland crossing to ensure the existing hydrology is not altered. Construction of the surface water intake and monitoring weir shall be conducted during stream low flow and in dry work conditions by dams and pumping or fluming stream flow around work area. Since Moshannon Creek is a wild trout stream, no construction or future repair work of the surface intake and monitoring weir shall be done in or along the stream channel between October 1 and December 31 without the prior written approval of the Fish and Boat Commission. In its entirety, the project will only temporarily impact 1,400 square feet of wetland while permanently impacting 255 feet of waterway that is located along eastern right-of-way of SR 0153 approximately 1.2 miles east of Woodward Township (Clearfield County) Road T-650 and SR 0153.
E17-415. Department of Transportation, Engineering District 2-0, 1924-30 Daisy Street, Clearfield, PA 16830. Realignment of Water Street and Construction of a Flood Control Levee, in Westover Borough, Clearfield County, ACOE Baltimore District (Westover, PA Quadrangle N: 0.45 inch; W: 5.90 inches).
To relocate Westover Borough Water Street; to construct, operate and maintain 1,400 feet of earthen levee within the 100-year floodplain of Chest Creek (CWF); and to install, operate and maintain rock scour protection at SR 3006 Bridge abutments for flood protection. The earthen levee shall be constructed with side slopes that shall not exceed 2 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical, a top width no less than 10 feet and an elevation that provides for 1 foot of freeboard during the 100-year frequency flood. The project will permanently impact 0.016 acre of wetland and 75 feet of Chest Creek that is located along the eastern right-of-way of SR 0036 upstream of SR 3006 and SR 0036 intersection. The Department of Environmental Protection deems the 0.016 acre of wetland permanently impacted by the project de minimis, and so the permittee shall not be required to mitigate the impact with replacement wetlands. This permit also authorizes construction, operation, maintenance and removal of temporary cofferdams or stream diversions for the installation of the rock scour protection. Installation of the rock scour protection shall be completed during stream low flow and dry work conditions by diverting stream flow around work area. Demolition of all structures between Chest Creek and the levee shall include any existing septic tanks or other waste disposal facilities. Demolition waste, including septic tanks, shall be properly removed, handled and disposed to eliminate any future public health risk.

To construct, operate and maintain a surface water intake, raw water transmission lines and treated drinking water distribution lines to extend and supplement the Houtzdale Municipal Authority's existing public drinking water supplies. Construction of the surface water intake, raw water transmission lines and treated drinking water distribution lines will result in four stream and two wetland impacts that are as follows:
Stream/Wetland Structure Stream Classification Latitude Longitude Moshannon Creek Surface Intake HQ-CWF 40° 44` 21" 78° 22` 5" Moshannon Creek Monitoring Weir HQ-CWF 40° 44` 48" 78° 22` 20" Moshannon Creek Utility Line Crossing TSF 40° 47` 17" 78° 20` 20" Morgan Run Utility Line Crossing CWF 40° 51` 17" 78° 24` 32" Moshannon Creek Wetland Surface Intake HQ-CWF 40° 44` 21" 78° 22` 5" Moshannon Creek Wetland Utility Line Crossing TSF 40° 47` 17" 78° 20` 34"
Raw water transmission and treated drinking water distribution lines shall be installed beneath streambeds so there will be a minimum of 3 feet of cover between the top of the pipe and the lowest point in the streambed or concrete encased. Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every waterway and wetland crossing to ensure the existing hydrology is not altered. Construction of the surface water intake and monitoring weir shall be conducted during stream low flow and in dry work conditions by dams and pumping or fluming stream flow around work area. Since Moshannon Creek is a wild trout stream, no construction or future repair work of the surface intake and monitoring weir shall be done in or along the stream channel between October 1 and December 31 without the prior written approval of the Fish and Boat Commission. As proposed, the project will only temporarily impact 1,400 square feet of wetland while permanently impacting 255 feet of waterway that is located along eastern right-of-way of SR 0153 approximately 1.2 miles east of Woodward Township Road T-650 and SR 0153.
