    DRAFT Plum Creek IFR-EA - Market Research.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is proposing the Plum Creek Restoration Project in Adams County, Pennsylvania, aimed at restoring a degraded stream system to improve hydrologic conditions, reduce erosion, and support wildlife habitats contributing to Chesapeake Bay restoration goals. The primary action involves removing approximately 1,700 linear feet of failing pipes that currently exacerbate erosion and flooding. The project will also enhance aquatic habitats by creating 1.05 acres of wetlands and establishing native riparian vegetation. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been made, indicating that the project does not require a detailed environmental impact statement. The restoration is expected to yield long-term benefits, including improved water quality and habitat, while coordinating with public and agency stakeholders to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Short-term, minor adverse impacts during construction are anticipated but will be mitigated through best management practices. Overall, the restoration aligns with federal efforts to address environmental health and safety in the region.
