LRP-2023-00416 PN 24-03 March 7, 2024 Land Reclamation Group, LLC The proposed mitigation bank is located on wetlands, Douglas Run, and unnamed tributaries to Huling Run within a 106.21 acre parcel in Sugarcreek Township, Cowansville, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The site is wholly within the Middle Allegheny-
Redbank watershed (8-digit HUC #05010006), Pennsylvania State Water Plan Watershed
Subbasin 17 (Maps are attached to this notice). The approximate center coordinates of the
project are: 40.922314, -79.602975
LRG proposes to establish the Huling Run Mitigation Bank within the approved LRG Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument. The Bank proposes re-establish and restore the waterways and wetlands historically impacted through anthropogenic alterations including agriculture and logging. Douglas Run was historically
relocated, channelized, and the hydrologic sources of the stream have been disconnected from
the waterway. Re-establishment of natural stream functions proposes to connect the stream with
the floodplain and recharge the groundwater table. The connection of the stream with the
floodplain will provide better support for the ground water system. This connection of the stream
and flood plain will re-establish wetlands within the riparian buffers of the stream. In
conjunction, LRG has identified thirteen tile drains and plans to reestablish the natural drainage
patterns that existed prior to their installation.

The project is proposing the creation of two private recreational ponds via the impoundment and subsequent inundation of two streams.  The project would include the excavation and shaping of stream and adjacent upland area above the impoundment structures which would form the ponds.  Excavated materials would then be redischarged back into the stream for the creation of the impoundment structures.  These structures would include a fixed outlet which controls pond elevation up to natural land contours and a rocked dissipation pad at the outlet location.  Impoundment of these waters would result in the loss of 80 and 205 foot of stream associated with the creation of 2,200 sq. ft. and 17,000 sq. ft. ponds, respectively.  It is anticipated that the ponds may take 2-3 weeks to fully fill with waters, and this may result in a temporary reduction in downstream flow contributions from the ephemeral and intermittent upstream reaches.

 July 26, 2020  Harmony   Environmental, LLC The proposed mitigation bank site is located in the Fike Run of Little Sandy Creek watershed along unnamed tributaries of Fike Run, adjacent floodplains and upland corridors, within the Cheat River watershed, near Bruceton Mills, Preston County, WV (39.7040, -79.4967).

The Bank Sponsor, Harmony, received approval for their UMBI on July 21, 2019 (LRH-2016-00006-WV No. 2017-1734). As defined in 33 CFR 332.8, an UMBI is a single mitigation banking instrument which provides for future authorization of additional mitigation bank sites. As additional sites are selected, they must be reviewed and approved by the IRT as modifications to the existing mitigation banking instrument. Therefore, the current proposal is under consideration as a modification to Harmony’s UMBI.

Harmony has submitted a mitigation plan to the Pittsburgh District Corps and the other members of the WV IRT to develop and operate a stream mitigation bank, known as the Howdershelt Run Mitigation Bank. The Howdershelt Run Mitigation Bank would implement restoration measures and conserve the aquatic environment and upland buffer areas in an effort to provide ecological benefits, including improvements to water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, erosion control, and flood conveyance and storage within the watershed. The goal of the mitigation bank is to restore and preserve self-sustaining, functional stream corridors and wetlands to replace the functions and values lost due to unavoidable adverse impacts to streams and wetlands from agricultural activities, cattle grazing, roads, and timbering. The mitigation bank is anticipated to include the unnamed tributaries of Fike Run, their adjacent floodplains and upland corridors. The Bank Sponsor proposes to restore approximately 2,012 linear feet (lf) of stream, enhance approximately 1,803 lf of stream, and establish approximately 1,279 lf of stream. Wetland credits will be determined using the West Virginia Stream and Wetland Valuation Metric 2.1. The Bank will have components of both wetland enhancement and preservation. The acreage and predicted credits generated will be determined after the wetland delineation has been performed and included in the mitigation plan.

The site is on Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) property at the end of Ligonier Reservoir Road, Ligonier Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania and was formerly operated as a water supply reservoir.  The project is in the Upper Loyalhanna Creek HUC 12 (050100080104) and the Kiskimentas HUC 8 (05010008).  Waters on the site drain to Laughlintown Run, to Loyalhanna Creek, to the Conemaugh River; which is a Traditionally Navigable Waterway.  The Project’s approximate center coordinates are: 40.208943 -79.179579

 

The proposed Furnace Run Mitigation Bank aims to reestablish wetlands and streams at an inactive water supply reservoir on MAWC property.  Furnace Run was historically manipulated and channelized.  The channel was originally impounded in-line.  Due to sediment accumulation, the stream was then moved off-line after the impoundments had been established for several years.  Currently Furnace Run flows through a concrete trapezoid channel with an 8-10 foot drop at the end of the channel which impedes passage of aquatic species.  Upon draw down of the facility, the sponsor will design a stream channel using an upstream reach and a downstream reach as the reference sites. Valley wide structures will be installed to minimize and control any head cutting of the channel.  Wetlands will be reestablished from drained terrestrial areas.  The sponsor proposes to restore/reestablish 14,400' of stream and 2.3 acres of wetland and to rehabilitate 0.7 acre of wetland.

Currently Long Run and its tributaries are deeply incised on the property providing little area for the stream to flood outside the channel during a high flow event. LRG proposes to reestablish the perennial stream channel by raising the stream bed elevation and connecting it to the flood plain.  In addition to the reestablishment of Long Run and other tributaries on the property, the proposed removal of tile drain systems will restore the water table and reestablish wetland adjacent to Long Run.  This activity is expected to reestablish wetlands throughout the valley.  The sponsor proposes to restore/reestablish 13,064' of stream and 9.1 acres of wetland and to rehabilitate 1.35 acre of wetland.

The Stream and Wetlands Foundation proposes to establish the Entrikin Farm in lieu fee site within the approved Stream and Wetlands In Lieu Fee Program Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument.  The primary objectives of the site are to generate wetland and stream mitigation credits to fulfill advance credits sold to permittees through the Stream and Wetlands Foundation in the Upper Ohio and Upper Ohio-Wheeling 8-digit HUC watersheds. The proposed site will include areas that will generate credits though wetland restoration, wetland rehabilitation, upland forest restoration, and stream restoration. The plan proposes to implement natural channel design, promote hydrology restoration, micro-topography restoration, and installation of native trees, shrubs, and seed mixes.  In areas degraded by agriculture or Non-native invasive plants, cattle exclusions and appropriate physical or chemical control means will be implemented.  Portions of the site’s active restoration area in the existing agricultural field and pasture that do not convert to wetland will be restored to upland forest. Additionally, a berm will be constructed in the south and east of the wetland restoration area and will be planted with trees to restore forest.  Specifically, the project proposes to re-establish or rehabilitate 36.1 acres of wetland and restore 2,389 linear feet of stream.
