Evaluation of Land in Agricultural Production for Projects Requiring ALCAB Approval

Projects which involve the construction of new highway facilities are subject to Act 100 and Act 43 jurisdiction. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT) may not condemn land in agricultural production for projects involving new highway facilities without approval from the Agricultural Lands Condemnation Board (ALCAB).

All data collection, analysis, and documentation will be conducted to address the requirements of Act 100 and Act 43 and the ALCAB.

The information required by the Agricultural Land Preservation Policy (ALPP) will also be presented in the Farmlands Assessment Report and at the ALCAB hearing.
