Chapter Title
Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

2014 Annual Report Bedford County Planning Commission
2014 ANNUAL REPORT BEDFORD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION March, 2015 Fred Temke, Chair Larry Wright, Vice-Chair Ernest Fuller Mary Stanley Rose Hoffman Wayne Koontz Charles Swartzwelder Joseph Barefoot Stephen Lambert 2014 ANNUAL REPORT BEDFORD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR This was a year of transition and the beginning of movement towards the completion of several planning efforts important to the County. Terry Stacey took over from Pandora Wertz in January as CDBG Administrator, and immediately tackled the Woodbury Water Line Replacement Project. More than ½ mile of line will be replaced, solving long-term problems with the delivery of drinking water to residents. The completion of construction is expected early in 2015. The Planning Commission was also involved with the early stages of planning on updates for several important countywide planning efforts, including: County Comprehensive Plan (adopted 2006) – major update County Hazard Mitigation Plan (adopted 2012) – major update County Natural Heritage Inventory (adopted 1998) – major update County Municipal Waste Management Plan (adopted 2011)—minor update Regional Community Economic Development Strategy (CEDS; adopted 2012)—major update Transportation efforts included participating in the completion of the 2015 – 2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and assisting with updates to the National Highway System (NHS) and the Federal Functional Classification System. The Pike 2 Bike corridor project also advanced in 2014. An Economic Impact Analysis was completed by Fourth Economy, Inc. and adopted by the Bedford and Fulton County Boards of Commissioners. The study provided clear evidence of significant economic impact if the 8.5 miles of abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike and two tunnels are rehabilitated for recreational use. -

Alkaline Addition Problems at the Skytop/Interstate-99 Site, Central Pennsylvania1
ALKALINE ADDITION PROBLEMS AT THE SKYTOP/INTERSTATE-99 SITE, CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA1 Arthur W. Rose and Hubert L. Barnes2 Abstract. In 2002-3, approximately 8x105 m3 of pyrite-bearing Bald Eagle sandstone and Reedsville shale were removed from a large road cut through Bald Eagle Ridge near State College, PA. The rock contained an average of about 4.5% pyrite as veins and fine veinlet networks across 200 m of road cut. Smaller amounts of ZnS and other heavy metal sulfides accompany the pyrite. The rock was placed in 9 nearby locations, including large waste piles and several valley fills, two ‘buttresses” and a lane elevation along about 0.8 km of hillside that was threatening to slide into the road. During excavation of the cut, pyrite was recognized as a potential problem and considerable lime was added as layers to the various piles. Despite the lime addition, highly acidic seeps emerged from the piles and fills, with pH 2.0 to 2.7, Fe 90-1500 mg/L, and acidities as high as 18,000 mg/L (as CaCO3). These results clearly show that addition of lime and other alkaline materials as layers is not effective. In experiments to test remediation methods, Bauxsol slurry was sprayed onto part of the buttress area but failed to prevent continuing acid seepages. Inspection trenches showed little penetration of the Bauxsol, and demonstrated the presence of the added lime as impermeable lime layers within the buttress. Bucket tests of mixtures of alkaline circulating fluidized-bed ash with pyritic rocks, when well mixed, gave alkaline effluents. -

Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District
Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District The Water Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Portions of the text below were adapted from a copy of the original nomination document. [ †] The lands between the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and the Bald Eagle Creek being especially desirable, due to their fertility and location, attracted those seeking frontier homes, and by 1800 there developed quite a prosperous settlement on the site of the present Lock Haven. Commercial lumbering was started about the time of the completion of the canal (1834). This industry grew in importance throughout the rest of the century. Most of the historic structures in this district remain on their original sites and are well-preserved. The most significant buildings are: The L. A. Mackey House, 1854, is a Federal-Tuscan Transitional, two-story, Flemish bond brick dwelling with the main section measuring 44.5' by 39.5'. The symmetric facade has five windows across the front, a bracketed cornice with dentils (which is carried along the sides of the building), a decorated frieze with five oblong windows, and a deeply recessed entrance with circular paneled door flanked by side lights and topped by a large rectangular space filled with a semi-circular window. This front entrance is framed with a hood supported by heavy brackets and topped with a balustraded balcony. There are twin chimneys in both gable ends of the main section of this building which is close to original and in excellent condition. The David Carskaddon Homestead, 1858, is an Italian Villa style, two-story dwelling, brick with stucco finish and constructed in the form of a Y.
