    4.3.2 Dam and Levee Failure

    Schuylkill County Hazard Mitigation Plan Month 2019 4.3.2 DAM AND LEVEE FAILURE PROFILE This section discusses both the dam and levee failure hazard in Schuylkill County. Dam Failure A dam is an artificial barrier that has the ability to store water, wastewater, or liquid-borne materials for many reasons (flood control, human water supply, irrigation, livestock water supply, energy generation, containment of mine tailings, recreation, or pollution control). Many dams fulfill a combination of these stated functions (Association of State Dam Safety Officials 2013). Man-made dams can be classified according to the type of construction material used, the methods used in construction, the slope or cross-section of the dam, the way the dam resists the forces of the water pressure behind it, the means used for controlling seepage, and, occasionally, the purpose of the dam. The materials used for construction of dams include earth, rock, tailings from mining or milling, concrete, masonry, steel, timber, miscellaneous materials (plastic or rubber), and any combination of these materials (Association of State Dam Safety Officials 2013). Dams typically fail when spillway capacity is inadequate and excess flow overtops the dam, or when internal erosion (piping) through the dam or foundation occurs. Complete failure occurs if internal erosion or overtopping results in a complete structural breach, releasing a high-velocity wall of debris-filled waters that rush downstream, damaging or destroying anything in its path (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] 2005). Dam failures can result from one or a combination of the following reasons: . Overtopping caused by floods that exceed the capacity of the dam .

  • Geochemistry

    Geochemistry

    GEOCHEMISTRY GENERAL CONCLUSIONS As part of the watershed study, a geochemical survey was conducted to determine the condition of the streams, with respect to coal mine drainage. The geochemical characteristics of coal mine drainage as well as the chemical reactions taking place between mine discharges and receiving streams were investigated with applications of the geochemistry to abatement procedures. Analysis performed on water samples included pH, acidity, alkalinity, Ca, Mg, Na, 2+ 2- K, Al, Ni, Si, Total Fe, Fe , and S04 . Water pollution caused by coal mine drainage has destroyed or severely affected large parts of Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 miles of streams and 302,400 acres of wildlife habitat have been adversely affected by strip and surface mining as a result of coal production in the Commonwealth (5). In the Mahanoy Creek watershed alone over 84 MGD of mine drainage enters the streams resulting in deterioration of water quality throughout the watershed. BRIEF REVIEW OF COAL MINE DRAINAGE The general nature of acid mine drainage, although complex, has been well reported to date (6) (8) (9). During mining, ground-water movement as well as aquifers are disrupted, bringing subsurface waters in contact with pyritic materials in the coal and in the associated rock strata. In many cases the flow directions are so drastically changed that the mine workings are inundated forming underground mine pools and causing water to drain through numerous mine openings. By exposing the sulfuritic materials, primarily pyrite and marcasite, to air and moisture, oxidation of these minerals occurs, resulting in products such as ferric hydroxide, ferrous sulfate and sulfuric acid.

Class A Waters qualify for designation as High Quality Waters (HQ) under §§ 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). The changes provide the appropriate designated use to these streams to protect existing uses. These changes may, upon implementation, result in more stringent treatment requirements for new and/or expanded wastewater discharges to the streams in order to protect the existing and designated water uses.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy

    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy

    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.
