On July 16, the Department of Environmental Protection Northcentral Regional Director Marcus Kohl hosted a public open house where multiple agencies shared information about working in streams impacted by flooding and erosion.  

“Our region needs the Restore Pennsylvania plan to properly address critical flood control infrastructure needs, especially the large-scale restoration work on repeatedly flood-impacted streams,” said Kohl. “Our communities desperately need these resources to avoid future repetitive losses to public infrastructure and private property.”

Dozens of residents attended the public open house at DEP’s Moshannon District Office. They spoke one on one with staff from DEP, PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and Centre County Conservation District about their stream work and flooding questions and viewed educational displays.
