Fish & Boat Commission Hosts Open House On Gas Leasing, Water Access Programs Aug. 17

The Fish and Boat Commission will host an open house on August 17, at 6:30 p.m. at the Donegal Area Community Center in Donegal, Westmoreland County, to explain the agency’s gas leasing and water access programs.
           PFBC Executive Director John Arway and various staff will be on hand to discuss the programs with interested individuals and to answer questions. The event is free and is open to the public.
            On March 7, the PFBC established a non-developmental Natural Gas Leasing Program and a Water Access Program on properties it controls. Under the two programs, projects may be approved on lands or waters when the projects are designed and implemented in such a way that they have little or no negative impact on the resource or property use.
            Revenues generated from these projects are to be used to fund programs and projects that support the agency’s mission in the form of capital infrastructure improvements, with priority being given to the repair and restoration of the 16 Commonwealth-owned high hazard dams managed by the Commission.
            Light refreshments will be served at the open house. The center is located at 113 Community Center Lane, Donegal, Pa. 
            For more information, visit the Water Access Program and High Hazard Dams webpages.
