Transfer of State Park Land to the Turnpike Commission; Funding for the Acquisition of Land by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission for Lands to be Acquired by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to be Encumbered with Certain Statutory Restrictions
[48 Pa.B. 2827]
[Saturday, May 12, 2018]Part A: Transfer of State park land to the Turnpike Commission (Commission).
The Commission has begun a Total Reconstruction and Widening project (highway project) from milepost 308 to 312, located through and adjacent to Marsh Creek State Park, Upper Uwchlan Township, Chester County. This project falls within the Commission's main line (I-76). By and through its authority under 74 Pa.C.S. § 8110 (relating to procedural requirements of acquisition), the Commission is proposing to permanently take 4.302 acres of State park land needed to reconstruct the highway.
The lands now comprising Marsh Creek State Park were acquired from funding by and through the Project 70 Land Acquisition and Borrowing Act (Project 70 Act) (72 P.S. §§ 3946.1—3946.22). In addition, a portion of these lands are also encumbered, in part, by the National Park Service's Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program. In accordance with the restrictions and requirements set forth in the LWCF, 54 U.S.C.A. § 200305(f)(3), the Commission is required to provide replacement lands that exceed both the acreage and appraised value of the land being taken.
The Commission is working to fulfill the requirements for the land transfer as required by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resource (Department), the LWCF administrator and the Project 70 Act. In accordance with the Commission's statutory authority, and with the approval by the Secretary of the National Park Service for the LWCF conversion, and express authorization from the General Assembly to dispose of the State park land currently encumbered by Project 70 Act restrictions, the Department is proposing to grant to the Commission, free of all encumbrances, a permanent right of way (ROW) acquisition of 4.302 acres of State park land as more fully described as follows.
1) 4.302 acres of State park land for use as a permanent ROW with the Commission. These permanent ROWs to be conveyed from the Department to the Commission exist as three separate areas—all adjacent to the highway project lands. a) Area 1 (South, Parcel 1)—1.863 acres ROW for Limited Access; b) Area 2 (South, Parcel 2)—1.176 acres ROW for Limited Access, 0.075 acre Drainage Easement and 0.002 Temporary Construction Easement; and c) Area 3 (North, Parcel 3)—1.186 acres ROW for Limited Access:
