Public comment window open

The proposal is to remove an an old bridge on an unnamed tributary to Bear Creek associated with an abandoned section of State Highway 948 and restore the site to a more natural condition. Removal of the collapsing bridge and restoration of the site would restore aquatic organism passage and stream channel and floodplain functions. The culvert is downstream from the current Highway 948 crossing of an unnamed tributary to Bear Creek in Warrant 3776, Highland Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania. The comment window is open through the end of August.
