The Department of Environmental Protection has issued a Chapter 105 water obstruction and encroachment permit for the proposed WTL to UGI Connection project for the installation of one four-inch pipeline that will transfer gas from the Wayne Township Landfill (WTL) to a new UGI tap location along SR 150. The gas will be produced and collected by the WTL and ultimately will connect into the existing UGI system servicing the area. The proposed pipeline will be bored under two wetlands and two streams, including the West Branch Susquehanna River and a tributary, as well as US Route 220. No changes in channel dimensions or floodplain elevations will result. Area disturbed during construction will be restored seeded, mulched, and allowed to return to original conditions. West Branch Susquehanna River is listed in the 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 designation as a Warm Water Fishery (WWF).
