Pennsylvania Wetland Replacement Project; Public Notice [27 Pa.B. 2784] 0-18-D11-001. Wetland Restoration Project. The Division of Waterways, Wetlands and Erosion Control, in cooperation with Joseph Emerick, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the Cambria County Conservation District, proposes to restore 1 acre of wetland, approximately 5,000 feet north of where T-478 crosses Williams Run (Colver Quadrangle, N: 4.7 inches; W: 2.8 inches) in Cambria Township, Cambria County.
The goal of the Bear Hollow Farm wetland project is to create a mosaic of aquatic habitat by restoring emergent wetland habitat adjacent to two existing ponds. Bear Hollow Farm will be the Environmental Education Center for Cambria County and will be used by more than 200 students a year. The 1 acre restoration area is in the Lower Allegheny River basin where 1.3 acres of wetland impact has been reported. The restoration area is vegetated by old field grasses and goldenrods and bordered by two ponds and upland forest. Over 75% of the site will have water less than 6 inches in depth. The site will be stabilized and allowed to stand for 1 year before determining what additional plantings are required.
