Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan
Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Action Plan 3-1 Action Plan Introduction The Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Plan) is a visionary document that provides a clear path on how Perry County can continue to provide and expand recreation resources and opportunities in the County. To ensure the Plan meets the needs and expectations of the residents of the County, the planning process and strategy development was very open to the public. A total of six public participation meetings were conducted, three at frontend of the project to listen to the public, and three at the backend to present the recommendations and achieve a level of public support that would allow the plan to be easily adopted and implemented by the Board of Commissioners. In addition to those public participation meetings, a total of fifty (50) key stakeholders were identified and interviewed on various topics, including Water Resources, Land Resources, Conservation, Regulatory, Funding, People, Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. A summary of the key stakeholder interviews and input from the public participation meetings is provided in the Plan. In addition to those interviews and meetings, a committee of fifty individuals (Committee) was created to provide additional input and guidance on the Plan, and a core committee of seven individuals was created from the full committee to oversee the month to month activities. Plan concepts, strategies, and recommendations were all ran through the core committee before receiving final approval by the full committee. The day to day interactions were handled by county staff from the County Planning Commission and Conservation District. -

Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C
Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C. Bruggeman College of William and Mary John Watson must have been quite content by the summer of 1870. Though he never learned to read or write, Watson retired at the age of sixty with a wife, five children, and the satisfaction of being one of the wealthiest residents in his community. Thirty-eight years before, Watson and his new wife, Sybella, left Reading, Pennsylvania, to begin a new life in not-so-distant Middletown. Why the newlyweds chose Middletown as their destination is unknown, but the town's dramatic growth and economic success is one possible reason. Though the oldest town in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Middletown did not achieve its full potential until the mid-nineteenth century. First incorporated as a borough in 1828 and then merged with neighboring Portsmouth in 1857, one unique feature made Middletown especially fertile for growth: the junction of the Pennsylvania and Union Canals. Even prior to the canals' construction Middletown proved a significant trade center. Built near the junction of the Swatara Creek and Susquehanna River, Middletown received southbound arks and canoes laden with grain from northern farmland intended for sale in Lancaster and Philadelphia. Middletown's grain trade flourished even before the arrival of canal travel. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat traveled through Middletown in 1790 en route to Philadelphia.' This number jumped to 180,000 in 1795 and skyrocketed to 800,000 in 1824. Further internal development accompanied increased water traffic. By 1870, Middletown boasted nearly three thousand residents, eight churches, and a variety of business facilities "not surpassed by any other town in Dauphin County, or of like population in the State."2 It is, therefore, no wonder that John and Sybella foresaw potential economic opportunities awaiting them in the riverside town.3 Their expectation was, indeed, correct. -

Susquehanna and Juniata River Assessment Report
SUSQUEHANNA AND JUNIATA RIVER ASSESSMENT REPORT Prepared by: Josh Lookenbill PA Department of Environmental Protection Office of Water Programs Bureau of Clean Water 11th Floor: Rachel Carson State Office Building Harrisburg, PA 17105 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Susquehanna River from the confluence of the Juniata River to the Route 462 bridge near Columbia and the Juniata River from the confluence of the Raystown Branch to the mouth do not meet the Warm Water Fishes (WWF) protected aquatic life use based on DEP’s Continuous physicochemical assessment method, and DEP’s Semi-wadeable large river macroinvertebrate assessment method (Figure 1). The Continuous physicochemical assessment method has identified high pH as a cause of impairment for both rivers. DEP is currently evaluating the source of impairment. At this time the source of the impairment will be listed as unknown. Currently, there is insufficient information upstream or downstream of these delineations to make assessment determinations using these methods. Figure 1. Delineation of the aquatic life use impaired regions of the Juniata and Susquehanna Rivers. Peer reviewed, scientifically defensible assessment methods are the basis for making use assessment decisions. Both methods became final assessment methods in 2018. This provides the opportunity to develop an aquatic life use assessment for portions of the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers. These assessment methods are independent evaluations that provide unique measures of water quality for assessing the aquatic life use. More intensive water quality monitoring that was implemented beginning in 2012 and through 2017 provided data that fit the framework of the assessment methods. The assessment of the Juniata River and the Susquehanna River documented exceedances of water quality standards in each year (2012 – 2017).
