Pennsylvania Wetland Replacement Project; Public Notice

[27 Pa.B. 2784]

   S-05C-19-1.  Wetland restoration project. The Division of Waterways, Wetlands and Erosion Control, in cooperation with Richard Wenner, Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Fishing Creek Rod & Gun Club, proposes to restore 1.5 acres of wetland, approximately 2,000 feet south of the intersection of SR1022, and T764 (Stillwater, PA Quadrangle, N:27 inches; W:10.7 inches) in Fishing Creek Township, Columbia County.

   The primary goal of the Wenner wetland restoration project is to provide waterfowl and wading bird habitat using shallow water and emergent areas for food. Restoration on this prior converted cropland, dominated by old field vegetation including Queen Anne's Lace and goldenrods, will provide 1.5 acres of wetland habitat in the Upper Central Susquehanna Subbasin. To date there has been approximately 1.2 acres of impact in the subbasin. Upon completion approximately 60% of the site will have standing water between 4 and 18 inches in depth. On 10% of the site (adjacent to the berm), the water will be greater than 18 inches and on the remaining 30% of the site the water will be less than 4 inches in depth. The restoration area is bounded by silky dogwood dominated scrub-shrub wetlands on one side. As part of the Erosion and Sedimentation Control plan, the restoration area will be seeded and stabilized. The site will stand for 1 year before determining if extra planting will be required, or if the adjacent wetland has provided any volunteer species. The berms will serve as resting areas.

   For further information contact: Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water Quality Protection, Division of Waterways, Wetlands and Erosion Control, 400 Market Street, 6th Floor, P. O. Box 8554, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8554. Telephone: (717) 787-6827.
