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.

The Cumberland Coal Raw Coal Stockpile Expansion project proposes to expand an existing raw coal stockpile by 7.47 acres for the existing 51 acre Cumberland Mine. The project is a proposed modification to an existing Corps authorization (CE-LRP 2001-1604). Previous impacts to waters of the U.S. resulting from construction of the coal preparation plant and existing stockpile total 1,770 linear feet of stream and 0.43 acre of wetland. These impacts have been mitigated for. The  proposed stockpile expansion will permanently impact 536 linear feet of stream in the Whiteley Creek watershed. To mitigate for impacts to Waters of the U.S. the applicant proposes to conduct stream restoration of 512 linear feet, stream creation of 20 linear feet, riparian enhancement of 168 linear feet, and preservation into perpetuity of a 100 foot riparian buffer (12.15 acre forested area) within in the Whiteley Creek watershed. Increase in-stream flow and habitat structures through the installation of rock cross-vanes, log sills, step pools, coir logs, and scour pools, reconnect the incised stream channel to the historic floodplain areas through channel reconfiguration and profile adjustments, enhance riparian shrub and tree density through plantings along 168 LF of otherwise stable stream channel, development of contiguous, extensive forested, scrub shrub and herbaceous riparian buffers through supplemental live staking, tree and shrub plantings, and application of herbaceous floodplain and riparian seed mixes. This in-kind, permittee-responsible, compensatory mitigation is proposed within the Whiteley Creek watershed (same as the proposed impact site) 1.3 aerial miles from the proposed impacts.
