Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P.O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period.

To compensate for the watercourse impacts associated with Section 55C2-1 of the Southern Beltway Project, the stream mitigation plan includes on-site relocation, and restoration of various tributaries in the Buck Run watershed, in Donegal Township, Washington County (West Middletown, PA Quadrangle; Latitude: 40° 8` 53" Longitude: -80° 26` 19"). The total impacts resulting from all of the subprojects associated with the Southern Beltway Project will permanently affect a cumulative total of approximately 7.62 acres wetlands. As compensation for these wetland impacts, the applicant will construct approximately 8.35 acres of wetlands, at a site approximately 0.5 mile west of the intersection of S.R. 18, and Joffre Bulger Road, in Smith Township, Washington County (Clinton, PA Quadrangle; Latitude: 40° 23` 16" Longitude: -80° 22` 24").
