Game Commission Board Approves Mineral Leases, Purchases
|
|
The Board of Game Commissioners this week approved a donation of land in Lehigh County, and two acquisitions of land in Centre and Blair counties. The Board approved accepting a donation from Leroy L. and Lola M. Spangler, of three-tenths of an acre in Heidelberg Township, Lehigh County, adjoining State Game Land 217. The tract reduces an indenture into SGL 217, and provides road frontage on Reservoir Road. The property is forested with mixed oak and has mountain laurel growing in its understory.
The Board approved the purchase of 114.7 acres in Howard Township, Centre County, adjoining SGL 323, from Howard L. Mantle for $395,000, which will be paid with funds from the land exchange with Pennsylvania State University on SGL 176.
The purchase is subject to the approval of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Both tracts are forested and adjoin U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Foster Joseph Sayers Dam property to the south. Right-of-way access is provided from Old Route 220/Township Route 663.
The Board also approved the purchase of mineral rights under two portions of SGL 198, Allegheny Township, Blair County, from Christian W. Anslinger for $2,500 lump sum. The first tract is 295.55 acres, the other is 129.05 acres. Acquiring these mineral rights will provide more control of the surface on this portion of SGL 198.
The complete announcement is available online.
