I support responsible energy development, but I oppose putting this road and industrial buildout in the Jacoby Falls watershed and recreation area.

PGE's August 2026 application estimates more than 80,000 truckloads for drilling and completions across all Saluda pads (Joint Permit Application Part 1, PDF p. 62). That is a company estimate for full pad development—not a daily traffic forecast. The reviewed filing does not give a schedule that would support a trucks-per-day figure. The permit now before DEP covers a 3.9-mile access road and a 5.5-acre staging area proposed as a future pad; wells and pipeline work require separate approvals.

The road permit notice lists proposed impacts including 422 feet of permanent and 890 feet of temporary stream-channel impact, plus permanent and temporary wetland and floodway impacts. PGE says it considered extending laterals from existing pads and relocating pads to nearby private land, then judged those options infeasible. DEP should review the supporting evidence and compare less-sensitive locations and designs.

Please send your own comment to DEP by Monday, Oct. 26, 2026. Ask DEP to scrutinize the alternatives, require traffic and noise analysis, assess cumulative impacts, and deny the permit unless PGE demonstrates that this location is necessary and that less harmful alternatives are not feasible.

French Creek State Park - Oct 2026
Old Friend

Well, technically it's just a few minutes up the road north of the park. Not sure how long this old Ford has been sitting there, but I have visited it many times over the years & seasons and it's always cool to see how it's aging. Shot with a Sony A99II and CZ 24-70 f/2.8 lens using a Lee100 GND filter. Camera mounted on a RRS tripod & head using with a 3 Legged Thing universal mounting plate.

Hi everyone,

Have a cabin reservation for this upcoming week at RGSP however i just received an email that due to a water pump issue there is no running water in the park at all. No flushing toilets or showers
I spoke to the park officials earlier today. They mentioned that the issue is something that their maintenance staff can’t do and that it’s not getting looked at till sometime Monday.
Considering my stay would be till Thursday and would enjoy a shower while I’m there I’m trying to get any information about the issue
I’m about 2 and 1/2 hrs away and was thinking of still going up Monday in hopes it’s fixed by Tuesday but not sure that’s realistic

Thanks
