I ii Introduction The preparation of this comprehensive plan represents an important part of the overall planning efforts of the citizens of Blair Township, The Board of Supervisors, and The Blair Townships' Planning Commission to provide for orderly growth and development in Blair Township. The planning process is continuous; including the (1) establishment of basic goals, policies, and objectives, (2) the study of existing social, economic, and physical conditions, (3) the formulation of plans to affect anticipated problems and to serve as guidelines for future growth and development, (4) the formulation of land use regulations that reflect and implement proposals initiated in this comprehensive plan, (5) and the continuous review and updating of the planning process to reflect the changing needs and conditions of Blair Township. The Blair Township Planning Commission requested the technical assistance of the Blair County Planning Commission to document and study the existing conditions of Blair Township and to advise the Township on the development of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan reflects the local goals, policies, and objectives established by the residents, tomship supervisors, and the planning commission of Blair Township. The Comprehensive Plan for Blair Township incorporates three major sections. The first section includes studies of existing Physiography, Land Use, Community Facilities and Environmental Quality, Transportation, Economy/Economic Base, Population and Housing. The second section outlines Blair Township's Goals, Policies, and Objectives. The third section includes Population Projections, Land Use Plan, Community Facilities and Environmental Quality Plan, Transportation Plan, Economic Plan, Housing Plan, Human Services Plan and Implementation. Documentation of the initial research data and public input is on file at the Blair County Planning Commission Office, Highland Hall Annex, Courthouse, Holli- daysburg, PA.

The Hollidaysburg and Huntingdon quadrangles are adjoin­ Virginia and Pennsylvania, is over 60 miles wide in North RELIEF ing areas in the south-central part of Pennsylvania, in Blair, Carolina. It is a rugged region of hills and ridges and deep, The lowest point in the quadrangles is at Huntingdon, Bedford, and Huntingdon Counties. (See fig. 1.) Taken as narrow valleys. The altitude of the higher summits in Vir­ where the altitude of the river bed is about 610 feet above sea ginia is 3,000 to 5,700 feet, and in western North Carolina 79 level, and the highest point is the southern extremity of Brush Mount Mitchell, 6,711 feet high, is the highest point east of Mountain, north of Hollidaysburg, which is 2,520 feet above the Mississippi River.

  • Watershed 11A, Little Juniata River
    08/22/01 DEP Bureau of Watershed Management Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 11A Little Juniata River and Frankstown Branch Watersheds Blair, Huntingdon, Bedford, Cambria, and Centre Counties Introduction The 738-square mile Subbasin 11A consists of two major parts, the 395-square mile Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries Beaverdam Branch, Blair Gap Run, Canoe Creek, Piney Creek, and Clover Creek, and the 343-square mile Little Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries, Bald Eagle Creek, Sinking Creek, and Spruce Creek. A total of 1,051 streams flow for 1,314 miles through the subbasin. The subbasin is included in HUC Area 2050302, Upper Juniata River, a Category I, FY99/2000 Priority watershed under the Unified Watershed Assessment developed by the Department in 1998. The Frankstown Branch and the Little Juniata River join to form the man stem Juniata River at the eastern edge of the subbasin. Geology/Topography The topography and geology of the subbasin is varied, as is typical of the Ridge and Valley Ecoregion, which comprises most of the subbasin. This area consists of a series of narrow northeast-southwest trending ridges and steep, narrow valleys formed during the uplift of the Appalachian Mountain chain. Most of the mountains are folded into tight loops and form dead- end valleys. The numerous folds in the mountains result in repetition of rock types throughout the basin, with sandstone-quartzite on the ridges and limestone and shale in the valleys. The steeply sloping topography can lead to increased runoff during storm events and discourage infiltration to the groundwater.
