APPENDIX Bedford CAP Organizational Chart Projects and Initiatives Highlights Catchment Management Database 2 BEDFORD COUNTYWIDE ACTION PLAN Working together to protect the future of Bedford County’s natural resources. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Plan Purpose The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) developed the third phase of their Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan (Ph. III WIP) in 2018. The plan requires implementation of local water quality improvements by 2025 to meet statewide pollution reduction goals. PADEP’s Ph. III WIP is based on a collaborative and bottom-up clean water planning approach between the state and each county in the Chesapeake Bay drainage area. This approach gives each county flexibility to create a plan that meets local needs and is unique to the jurisdiction. Plan Highlights The Bedford Countywide Action Plan (Bedford CAP) is a summary of approaches, initiatives, and considerations for existing and proposed water quality improvements in the county. The initiatives are intended to protect the future of Bedford County’s natural resources while preserving other community goals and focus areas.

    BEDFORD COUNTY CLEAN WATER TECHNICAL TOOLBOX Developing a County-Based Action Plan for Clean Water November 2019 BEDFORD COUNTY TECHNICAL TOOLBOX Pennsylvania Phase 3 Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) The Local Planning Process to Meet Countywide Goals Introduction Welcome to your Clean Water Technical Toolbox. This document has been prepared to help you improve local water quality. This collaborative effort is being made throughout Pennsylvania’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Each Pennsylvania county within the watershed will have a Technical Toolbox with similar components tailored to that county’s specific conditions. What is the Technical Toolbox? This toolbox has been developed as a starting point for each county to use to improve local water quality. It contains useful and specific data and information relevant to your county to assist you with reaching local water quality goals. No county is required to use every tool in this toolbox! You are encouraged to add other tools as fits your local situation. This toolbox serves as a guide to assist with collaborative efforts, not as a regulatory tool. Pennsylvania’s State Workgroups have developed a series of recommendations that can apply across the watershed. These are recommendations, and you will find that as a county you might want to adjust the recommendations based on your county’s needs. The sector recommendations found in the appendix are to be used as a starting point for your county. - 1 - The Local Story: Opportunities to Improve Local Water Quality and Meet Countywide
