  • Natural Resources Profile
    BBaacckkggrroouunndd SStttuuddyy ##66 Natural Resources Profile The Natural Resources Profile is designed to identify and analyze the vast assortment of natural resources that are found within or have an influence on Lebanon County. These resources and features include the physical geography; topography; soils; geologic formations and physiographic provinces; water resources; wellhead protection; woodlands; and wildlife and their value to economic pursuits, such as agriculture and forestry, and to the county’s overall environmental quality. The purpose of the profile is to help local, regional, and state government officials and decision-makers, developers, and citizens make more informed planning decisions. Sensitive environmental resources, threats to resource existence and function, development impacts, and types of protection techniques are of specific interest, as they aid in the identification of natural resources in need of remediation, features that impose development constraints, areas to be preserved, and places that are well-suited for development. Physical Geography Lebanon County is located in the Lebanon Valley between South Mountain, which rises to an elevation of 800 to 1,000 feet, and the Blue Mountain Chain to the north, which reaches peaks of 1,300 to 1,500 feet. The Lebanon Valley is divided into several smaller valleys by lines of hills parallel to the ensconcing mountains. The valley lies on the northern edge of the Southeast Piedmont Climatological Division which also includes Dauphin, Berks, Lancaster, Chester, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties and is more or less a transition zone from the piedmont region to the East Central Mountain and Middle Susquehanna Climatic Divisions.1 Climate The climate of Lebanon County is best described as humid continental.

  • Pennsylvania DEP's Six-Year Plan for TMDL Development
    Pennsylvania DEP’s Six-Year Plan for TMDL Development Developed by the Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management Updated March 2004 Introduction The Department of Environmental Protection focuses on watershed management processes that take a comprehensive approach to water pollution control addressing polluted runoff, or nonpoint source pollution, as well as point sources of pollution. The watershed approach requires selection or definition of watershed size and begins with a comprehensive assessment of water quality in the watershed. After water quality impairments are identified, a planning process occurs to develop strategies that can successfully address and correct water pollution in the watershed. Pennsylvania is using this process together with federal Clean Water Act requirements for establishing total maximum pollutant loadings or TMDLs to restore polluted streams so that they meet water quality standards. Water quality standards are the combination of water uses, such as water supply, recreation, and aquatic life, to be protected and the water quality criteria necessary to protect them. TMDLs can be considered to be a watershed budget for pollutants, representing the total amount of pollutants that can be assimilated by a stream without causing water quality standards to be exceeded. The pollutant allocations resulting from the TMDL process represent the amount of pollutants that can be discharged into a waterway from each source. The TMDL does not specify how dischargers must attain particular load reduction. In an April 7, 1997 Memorandum Of Understanding with EPA, the Department agreed to a 12-year schedule to develop TMDLs for impaired streams listed on the 1996 CWA Section 303(d) list.
