Default Nuisance Bear in PA

What is the PA game commision Policy on nuisance Black Bear?

I have a hunting cabin just outside of St.Marys, PA and we have always had bear around and once in awhile they will mess with things around the cabin especially bird feeders we which is understandable. This summer there has been a really big black bear in the 600 lbs. range that decided our spring resevoir was a good place to beat the heat - problem with this is that he has tore up the liner a couple of times now and once he has tore apart the pump that sends the water up the camp. I just spent the whole day redigging the resevoir with my brother and relining it again. Just wondering if there is some type of law that allows you to take a bear that is physically damaging your property or not. We have never had them bother the spring before but this has been one hot summer and I don't half blame him. One thing about this bear in particular is he doesn't seem to affraid of people at all.
