The Department of Environmental Protection has issued a Chapter 105 water obstruction and encroachment permit for the proposed dredging of approximately 72,000 cubic yards of accumulated silts and sediments from 11 coves and inlets on Treasure Lake to maintain safe boating lanes and give lakefront residents access to their docks. In addition, a roadbed that was constructed at the time the dam was built will be removed. This roadbed is approximately 2.5 feet below the surface at normal pool, and in low water conditions causes a dangerous hazard for boaters and aquatic life if a petroleum leak should be caused by the shallow bed. The roadbed area is approximately 1.33 acres and the cove and inlet dredging is approximately 14.77 acres. The dredged material will be disposed of at an approved off-site disposal area. There are no anticipated significant adverse impacts to waters of the U.S. or aquatic resources from this project. Treasure lake is listed in the Pa. Code Chapter 93 designation as a Warm Water Fishery (WWF) and the receiving stream Wolf Run is listed as a Cold Water Fishery (CWF). Latitude: 41° 9` 54.65", Longitude: -78° 43` 12.48".
