Commissioners approve DEP permit filing for Bridge No. 33 and approve ECMS invoice; costs mostly reimbursable
Summary
Blair County approved submission of a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection General Permit 11 application for Bridge No. 33 (Old Mill Run Road, Logan Township) and approved an ECMS invoice of $2,248.38 for preliminary design work, 95% of which is reimbursable from the Marcellus Shale Legacy Fund.
Blair County commissioners on Oct. 9 approved submission of a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) General Permit 11 application for Bridge No. 33, a superstructure replacement project over Mill Run on Old Mill Run Road (T-456) in Logan Township. The board also approved ECMS submission invoice number 15, part 1, for preliminary design work in the amount of $2,248.38 from Keller Engineers; the meeting record states that 95% of that expense is reimbursable and will be paid from the Marcellus Shale Legacy Fund.
A county staff member (presenting the bridge item) moved to approve the DEP application; a commissioner seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote. The same motion-and-vote sequence approved the ECMS invoice and acknowledged the reimbursement arrangement.
Why it matters: Replacement of Bridge No. 33 is an infrastructure project with state environmental permitting requirements and near-term design costs. Reimbursement from the Marcellus Shale Legacy Fund reduces the county’s net capital burden for the preliminary design expense.
Details: The project location is Logan Township over Mill Run (T-456 Old Mill Run Road). The approved ECMS invoice number 15 part 1 totals $2,248.38; the presenter said 95% of the expense would be reimbursed and charged to the Marcellus Shale Legacy Fund. The DEP filing is for General Permit 11, which the county will submit as part of project compliance.
