Elkland Borough Authority has applied for a Joint Permit Application to construct, operate and maintain a new permanent sewer line crossing along Ellison Road in Elkland Borough, Tioga County.
The project is for the removal and relocation of an existing sewer line. The work involves the relocation of approximately 420 feet of new 10-inch PVC sanitary sewer. Approximately 35 feet of the new sewer will be encased in concrete and will be protected by gabion mattresses. The relocation will be approximately 25 feet west of its present location to avoid conflicts with the proposed replacement of an existing bridge. The new sewer line will cross under the stream and installed by open cut. It will be located approximately 6 inches below streambed.
The total estimated stream impacts for the project are approximately 672 ft2 of permanent impacts and 3,200 ft2 of temporary impacts. The proposed project will not permanently impact wetlands, cultural or archaeological resources, national/state/local parks, forests recreational areas, landmarks wildlife refuge or historical sites.
