​Spring road maintenance season will be underway soon and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Forest, Venango, and Warren County maintenance offices expect waste fill dirt will be available as crews tackle activities such as ditching, shoulder cutting, pipe replacement, and other operations.
Fill dirt leftover from PennDOT maintenance operations is available to property owners who request the material, and whose property is accessible and located near work areas.
Property owners must sign a release form (Form M-666) which is available by contacting the Warren County maintenance office at 814-723-3500 or the Venango County maintenance office at 814-432-3115.
The form must be signed before any fill dirt is delivered. Forms expire at the end of each year and new ones must be signed annually.
Currently, PennDOT anticipates having fill dirt available from work throughout the three counties. Currently, in Venango County, PennDOT anticipates having fill dirt available from work throughout the county with a lot of work concentrated in the Mapleshade area.
Message boards are also placed near work areas to alert residents and property owners of the availability of fill dirt.
Information about infrastructure in District 1, including completed work and significant projects, is available at www.penndot.pa.gov/D1Results. Find PennDOT’s planned and active construction projects at www.projects.penndot.gov.
