The applicant proposes to construct and maintain approximately 15 miles of 24 inch diameter and 18 miles of 20 inch diameter natural gas pipeline in Mahoning, North Beaver, Union and Pulaski Townships, Lawrence County and Jefferson, Lackawannock, Shenango, and Wilmington Townships, Mercer County, PA. The proposed pipeline will connect Hilcorp Energy Company's well pads and production facility to Pennant's Hickory Bend Cryogenics Plant located in Mahoning County, OH. An additional site in Sugar Grove Township, Mercer County will be utilized to mitigate for the permanent conversion of palustrine forested and palustrine shrub-scrub wetlands to palustrine emergent wetlands. The water obstructions and encroachments in the Lawrence County portion of the project are described below:
The water obstructions and encroachments for the purposes of installing the pipeline are described below:

To construct, operate, and maintain:
1) A permanent access road using a 30 foot long, 30 inch diameter culvert impacting 40 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Elk Creek (EV) and 430 square feet of an exceptional value palustrine forested (EV-PFO) wetland (Shunk, PA Quadrangle 41°33`08"N, 76°40`44"W);
2) A permanent access road using 4—12 inch diameter culverts spaced at 15 foot intervals center to center impacting 4,101 square feet of an exceptional value palustrine scrub shrub (EV-PSS) wetland (Shunk, PA Quadrangle 41°33`11"N, 76°40`45"W).
The project will result in 4,531 square feet (0.10 acre) of permanent wetland impacts and 40 linear feet of permanent stream impacts, all for the purpose of installing an access road for Marcellus well development in Elkland Township, Sullivan County. The permittee will provide 0.16 acres of compensatory mitigation onsite.
