HB 784 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act authorizing the transfer of an easement interest in lands for a portion of the Project 70 lands owned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, known as Lake Winola Access, in Overfield Township, Wyoming County, to the Department of Transportation.

HB 784 authorizes the transfer of two easements (totaling about 0.13 acres) from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to the Department of Transportation. The easements cover specific parcels at Lake Winola Access in Overfield Township, Wyoming County, which were previously subject to Project 70 land use restrictions. The bill removes these restrictions, allowing the DOT to use the land for transportation purposes without those limitations. As mitigation, the transfer requires the DOT to provide increased public access and safety improvements for the area.
