State Water Plan Subbasin 19D Lower Youghiogheny River Watershed Westmoreland and Fayette Counties
08/22/01 DEP Bureau of Watershed Management Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 19D Lower Youghiogheny River Watershed Westmoreland and Fayette Counties Introduction Subbasin 19D includes a 478-square mile area of the lower Youghiogheny (Yough) River and its tributaries from below the mouth of Indian Creek to the confluence with the Monongahelea River. The largest watersheds in the subbasin are Sewickley Creek and Jacobs Creek. A total of 780 streams flow through this subbasin. The subbasin is part of HUC Area 5020006, Youghiogheny River, a Category I, FY99/2000 Priority watershed in the Unified Watershed Assessment. Geology/Soils The eastern third of the subbasin is within the Central Appalachians Ecoregion, Uplands and Valleys of Mixed Land Use (69b). The western boundary of this ecoregion is Chestnut Ridge. This ecoregion consists of nearly horizontal, alternating layers of sandstone, shale, mineable coals, and limestone of the Conemaugh, Allegheny and Pottsville Groups of the Pennsylvanian Age. Soils of low to moderate fertility have eroded from this rock. Mississipian Age rocks of the MauchChunk and Loyalhanna Formations are also present in the upper portion of the watershed. The western two thirds of the subbasin are in the Western Allegheny Plateau, Mononghela Transition Zone (70b). This ecoregion consists of layers of sandstone, shale, limestone, and coal of Permian and Pennsylvanian Age, Monongahela and Waynesburg Group. Ecoregion 70b contains urban, suburban, industrial, and mining land uses in a landscape of sparsely wooded, unglaciated terrain of rounded hills and open valleys. Entrenched rivers, gently dipping strata and land slips occur. The most economically valuable coal of the bituminous region, the Pittsburgh coal, underlies the western two-thirds of the subbasin. -
