E55-227. Department of Transportation, Engineering District 3-0, P. O. Box 218, Montoursville, PA 17754-0218. SR 2013, Section 004, Bridge Replacement Project, Union Township, Snyder County, ACOE Baltimore District (Dalmatia, PA Quadrangle N: 40° 41` 40"; W: 76° 52` 39").
Department of Transportation Engineering District 3-0 proposes to replace a single span concrete slab bridge with a single span concrete box culvert. The existing structure has a normal span of 7.76 Ft., Skew of 90°, an underclearance of 3.3 Ft., and a low chord elevation of 422.92 Ft. The proposed structure has a normal span of 7.0 Ft., Skew of 90°, an underclearance of 6.0 Ft., and a low chord elevation of 421.67 Ft. The proposed box culvert will impact approximately 85 Ft. of stream channel. The channel flow line drops nearly six feet in elevation over 27 horizontal feet, due to three concrete formed steps within the existing structure. These steps within the existing structure will result in a proposed box culvert slope of 7.3% and 50 Ft. of upstream channel slope changes. The upstream 50 Ft. of channel will be graded to a 7.3% slope and stabilized using grouted R-8 Rip-Rap. The culvert outlet elevation is bound by an existing private stream enclosure which outlets into the Susquehanna River. The proposed structure will be located on the same horizontal and similar vertical alignment. The project will not impact any jurisdictional wetland. This project will not require mitigation. The project is located over Herrold Run, which is a Tributary to the Susquehanna River (WWF). The project is located in Union Township, Snyder County. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

E25-727, Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, 208 East Bayfront Parkway, Suite 201, Erie, PA 16507 in the City of Erie, Erie County, United States Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District (Erie North, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 42° 7` 50"; Longitude: 80° 6` 2").
To construct and maintain a 24 foot wide, two-way frontage road, with 26 parallel parking spaces, and a 10 foot wide pedestrian bike path, along the north side of the Bayfront Parkway between Walnut and Cherry Streets. The road will provide public access between Bay Harbor Marina and the Chestnut Street Boat Launch Ramp. The proposed land disturbance will cover approximately 0.42 acre. The project also includes construction and maintenance of one 12` wide and 50` wide dock, providing approximately 600 square feet of cover habitat for aquatic organisms and fish, by shading the water and bottom substrate in this area.
Currently, the configuration of the existing marina structures and debris (which includes concrete, blocks, docks, fill and foundations) at the proposed project location, covers about 9,061 square feet (approximately 0.49 acre) of the bottom of Presque Isle Bay. This project proposes to remove 9,061 square feet of debris from the bottom of Presque Isle Bay. The project also proposes the construction of the roadway, parking spaces and walkway that will impact approximately 6,933 feet of the bottom of Presque Isle Bay (approximately 0.42 acre) at or near the existing shoreline. Therefore, a net increase of aquatic habitat will occur, as approximately 2,128 square feet (0.078 acre) of fill material from the bottom of Presque Isle Bay will have been removed. All work is proposed to be done on water lots in Presque Isle Bay owned by the Erie-Western PA Port Authority, and not in or on submerged lands of the Commonwealth.
