150 round trips will truck about a million tons of acid rock through four counties and on a half dozen roads. The rock will start at Skytop and use I-99 to south of Port Matilda onto 220 then to I-99 south to Rt. 22 West to Rt. 219 North in Ebensburg to 422 West to 403 to Robindale Energy Services, Inc.

There, the acid rock will be mixed with fly ash to neutralize the rock's ph levels. Acid rock that can't be moved from Skytop will be contained so as to not hurt the local environment.

"I think it's ok, as long as they do it the way they said," says Port Matlida Borough President Richard Turner.

Tuesday morning, PennDot will take this plan and apply for a permit with the DEP. The DEP has been working along side of PennDot to get this situation fixed, so barring any catastrophes; this plan looks to be a go. But it still has public hearings to go through and some people don't like the idea of added trucks on their roads.

"I think that would be absolutely disastrous because there's so many accidents on this road, in this little stretch of highway. To add more truck traffic would be just horrible," says Donna Anderson of Ebensburg.

"It's not going to affect the population, but very little," says Antis Township Supervisor Kenneth Hoster.

"As long as drivers watch what they're doing, that's the biggest thing," says Steve Miller of Cambria County.

The project is expected to begin early this summer, take a year to complete and cost around $40 million.
