Illicit discharges allow pollutants to enter lakes and streams causing public health concerns, unpleasant odors/color, and harming aquatic and animal life. Pollution can also lead to excess growth of vegetation in our streams. Please be cautious about what washes off your property and notify the Township office if you detect any illicit discharges in your area. Examples of illicit discharges include improper disposal of: • Automotive fluids (oil, fuel, antifreeze) • Solvents • Landscape waste (grass clippings & leaves) • Pet waste • Cooking oil and grease • Chlorinated pool water • Paints • Trash Residents can report suspected illicit discharges to the Township MS4 Coordinator. 2 520 Park Drive, Boiling Springs, PA 17007 • 717-258-5324 • FAX 717-258-3577 • www.smiddleton.com Community Planning and Public Improvement Projects Shaping the Township’s Future The Township is seeking input on several planning ef- Prior to the dam replacement project beginning, a wa- forts later this year, and getting ready for some construction terline that crosses the project site will need to be relocated around Boiling Springs in the next couple years - via the by the South Middleton Township Municipal Authority. following projects.

  • The Commercial Utilization of Tanbark Oak and Western White Oak in Oregon
    The Commercial Utilization of Tanbark Oak and Western White Oak in Oregon by Ralph Dempsey /d\ A Thesis 7 1958 Presented to the Faculty ( of the School of Forestry Ore'on State College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science March 1938 Approved: rofessor 0± forestry INTRODUCTION Tanbark oak, Lithocarpus densiflora (Hooker and Arnott) Rehder, and Oregon white oak (uercus arryana Hooker) are Oreon's most potentially valuable hardwoods. These trees are comparatively well known, but they have received little commercial attention. The people engac'ec9 in the manu- facture cf leather have used the bark of Tanbark oak he- cause it produces a considerable quantity of hirh rad.e tannin. The tree, which has previously been left to rot after the bark had been peeled, could in some way be uti- lized. The Oregon white oak has been used chiefly as fuel. Its uses in other fields has gradually deceased until it is now little used except for firewood. The wood of these species have received little consideration and their possi- bilities are unknown. This study was made for the purpose of reviewing the previous uses of these woods, and with the advent of new methods of kiln drying, to find a solution to a more efficient utilization. The main objections to the use of these woods have been their severe warping sn cheek- ing in seasoning. The results of j:revious studies, and experimental work bein carried on by the Forest Products Laboratory, indicates these woods can be successfully kiln dried. It is hoped that this will give these western oaks a place in the lumber markets of the nation, and there- by lead to a more efficient utilization of these woods.

HI INTRODUCTION Machining properties relate to the behavior of wood when planed, shaped, turned, or put through any other standard woodworking operation. Wood in general is easy to cut, shape, and fasten. For some purposes the difference between woods in machinability is negli- gible ; for other uses, however, as in furniture and fixtures, the smooth- ness and facility with which woods can be worked may be the most important of all properties. Unless a wood machines fairly well and with moderate ease, it is not economically suitable for such uses re- gardless of its other virtues. Thus, along with specific gravity and tendency to split and warp, machinability is of first importance to the woodworker.

The simplest definition of agroforestry is that it is the integration of trees and agriculture/horticulture to create a more diverse growing system. In agroforestry the aim is to promote more use of perennial crops, notably tree and shrub crops, for several reasons: Perennial crops are more resilient to the vagaries of the climate and more reliable in cropping than annually-cultivated crops. This may become increasingly important as climate change occurs: the latest indications are that the warming of the earth is occuring faster than anticipated and over the next 50 years, between 2° and 5 C rise in Britain looks likely. This will mean increasingly frequent droughts in summer, thus threatening many annual agricultural crops. Modern agriculture is inefficient in energy terms, whereas agroforestry relies on perennial crops which need less labour and require less energy input to maintain than annual crops. Perennial crops are much more sustainable in the long term, especially where they are planted in diverse mixtures which are planned to perform well together. Perennial crops have other important benefits, some of which are less easy to quantify. Trees and forests are essential facets of life on earth and help control and regulate wind, moisture, rainfall, temperature and so on. They are also linked with cultural and spiritual values. Agroforestry systems can vary in complexity from the very simple, eg occasional trees planted in pastures to provide shade, emergency forage and nitrogen (via nitrogen-fixing bacteria), to the more complex systems like forest gardens, which may utilise hundreds of species to create a self-sustaining and interconnected system.
