DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Proposed Exchange of Property
[46 Pa.B. 8043]
[Saturday, December 24, 2016]The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (Department), acting through the Bureau of Forestry, and Porter Township are proposing to negotiate an exchange of property interests in Pike County.
The exchange would involve 8 acres going from Porter Township to the Department and 4 acres going from the Department to Porter Township. Porter Township owns a building that is located on 4 acres of the Department land that they would like to obtain. The building is 30 feet by 34 feet and has a paved parking area in front that is 120 feet by 35 feet. The building has a well and septic system. Porter Township has a lease agreement with the Department to maintain the building on State forest land. The lease is FM-5782 and has been in place since 1972. The Porter Township lease takes up approximately 1/3 acre. The 4-acre parcel is located on the east side of Route 402, across from Snow Hill Road. The 8-acre parcel is forested and is located on the south side of Bushkill Road. This transaction will transfer the building site and associated structures from State forest land to Porter Township land, which is viewed as desirable by both parties.
As is the policy of the Department, the public is notified of this exchange. A 30-day period for public inquiry or comment, or both, will be in effect beginning December 24, 2016, and ending January 22, 2017. Oral or written comments or questions concerning this proposed exchange may be addressed to Ryan Szuch, Planning Section, Bureau of Forestry, P.O. Box 8552, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8552, (717) 787-2980, rszuch@pa.gov. Oral and written comments will become part of the official document used in the final decision process. Written documents are also available regarding the proposed land exchange by request.
If, in the duration of the 30-day comment period, a significant amount of public concern develops, the Secretary of the Department may schedule a public informational meeting.
CINDY ADAMS DUNN,
Secretary
