Huber IV Reclamation
Huber IV’s proximity to S.R. 29 and I-81, as well as its location at one the Hanover Industrial Estates’ entrances, made its reclamation a priority for Earth Conservancy. It also sits adjacent to Huber III, an 87-acre parcel that EC already had reclaimed. With the completion of Huber IV, EC completed the reclamation of approximately 270 acres of abandoned mine lands clustered around Exit #1 of S.R. 29. Other projects included Huber I, Huber II, and Huber III; the Sugar Notch residential area; and the Preston Bank. Hubers III and IV were sold in 2014 for development.
Funding for this project was provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and Earth Conservancy.
