WATER OBSTRUCTIONS AND ENCROACHMENTS Regional Permit Coordination Office: 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101, Kevin S. White, PE, Acting Director, 717-772-5987.
Applicant: Eastern Gas Transmission & Storage, Inc., 925 White Oaks Boulevard, Bridgeport, WV 26330.
E0383224-005. Applicant is proposing the following water obstructions and encroachments:
To construct and maintain water obstructions and encroachments associated with the TL-474 Pipeline Culvert Replacement and Landslide Remediation Project. The landslide repair consists of the installation of subsurface drains and waterbars in and adjacent to a wetland. The landslide repair will result in permanent direct impact of approximately 0.39 acre of a PEM wetland (Other). Construction will also consist of the replacement of a 39-foot-long, 24-inch diameter metal culvert at an existing stream crossing with a 57 foot long, 30-inch diameter HDPE culvert with riprap inlet and outlet protection resulting in 72 feet of permanent impact to tributary to Kiskiminetas River (WWF). The proposed culvert will be depressed 6-inches below natural streambed elevation.
To compensate for the permanent wetland (Other) impacts, EGTS has purchased 0.39 wetland mitigation credits from First Pennsylvania Resource, LLC. The wetland credits are from the Laurel Hill Mitigation Bank (MB990556-001), PA State Water Plan Subbasin 19, located in Somerset County.
The project is located 0.18-mile northeast of Roaring Run Trail (Latitude: 40.550663°, Longitude: -79.529999°) in Kiskiminetas Township, Armstrong County.
