Introduction This Stormwater Management Plan has been developed for Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to comply with the requirements of the 1978 Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Act, Act 167. This Plan is the initial county-wide Stormwater Management Plan for Luzerne County, and serves as a Plan Update for the portions or all of six (6) watershed-based previously approved Act 167 Plans including: Bowman’s Creek (portion located in Luzerne County), Lackawanna River (portion located in Luzerne County), Mill Creek, Solomon’s Creek, Toby Creek, and Wapwallopen Creek. This report is developed to document the reasoning, methodologies, and requirements necessary to implement the Plan. The Plan covers legal, engineering, and municipal government topics which, combined, form the basis for implementation of a Stormwater Management Plan. It is the responsibility of the individual municipalities located within the County to adopt this Plan and the associated Ordinance to provide a consistent methodology for the management of stormwater throughout the County. The Plan was managed and administered by the Luzerne County Planning Commission in consultation with Borton-Lawson, Inc. The Luzerne County Planning Commission Project Manager was Nancy Snee.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Addendum to the Catawissa Creek Restoration Plan
    Catawissa Creek Watershed Restoration Plan Update Addressing the TMDL Identification and Summary of Problem and Pollution Sources The Catawissa Creek watershed is a very rural, relatively remote, largely forested watershed, with little agricultural land. The only urbanized area is the Borough of Catawissa, at the mouth of Catawissa Creek. Ringtown Borough, in the upper Little Catawissa Creek watershed, is the only other incorporated municipality in the watershed. Several small villages are scattered through the watershed. Little new development exists in watershed except for Eagle Rock Resort, a development of mostly second and retirement homes in the upper Tomhicken Creek watershed. Farms consist of mostly pasture, with the few row crops planted mostly in corn. Impairment of Water Quality and Aquatic Life The major pollution source in the Catawissa Creek watershed is abandoned mine drainage from five deep mine tunnels located in the upper third of the watershed. A total of 44.5 miles of Catawissa Creek watershed, 11 miles of Tomhicken Creek, and 3.4 miles of Sugarloaf Creek are listed as impaired by metals from abandoned mine drainage on the DEP 303d list of impaired waters. The DEP North Central Regional Office completed the assessment of the entire Catawissa Creek watershed through the DEP Unassessed Waters Program in fall 2004. In addition to the areas already listed as impaired by abandoned mine drainage, several tributaries originating on Catawissa Mountain in the lower watershed were determined to be impaired by acid deposition and will be placed on the 303d list. This is not surprising since nearly the entire watershed is lowly buffered and slightly acidic.

  • Acid Mine Drainage Reduction Efforts Restore Tomhicken Creek (EPA
    NONPOINT SOURCE SUCCESS STORY Acid MinePennsylvania Drainage Reduction Efforts Restore Tomhicken Creek Waterbody Improved Abandoned mine drainage (AMD) discharge in 3.5 miles of Tomhicken Creek, a tributary of Catawissa Creek, created toxic conditions for fish and macroinvertebrate, which prompted the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to add Tomhicken Creek to the state’s 1996 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters for aquatic life. In 2003 and 2005, PADEP approved a total maximum daily load (TMDL) of runoff and finalized the Catawissa Creek Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP). The TMDL assessment targeted load reduction goals for acidity, iron and aluminum. Tomhicken Creek partners installed two passive treatment systems, significantly reducing metals and acidity levels and raising the pH and alkalinity of the creek. Approximately 3.5 miles of Tomhicken Creek improved and now meet water quality standards; in 2018, PADEP delisted Tomhicken Creek as an impaired waterbody. Problem Catawissa Creek, a 41.8-mile-long tributary of the Susquehanna River, starts in Luzerne County and flows through northern Schuylkill County. It is part of the Greater Hazelton region of Pennsylvania. The 153-square-mile Catawissa Creek watershed is primar- ily forested with very little development or agriculture. Tomhicken Creek, a tributary of Catawissa Creek, is approximately 11 miles long (Figure 1). Coal mining was the primary industry in the eastern Catawissa Creek watershed from the mid-1800s to the early 1970s. Large land tracts of the watershed’s Figure 1. Tomhicken Creek is in the Catawissa Creek eastern portion are unreclaimed strip pits and subsid- watershed in east-central Pennsylvania.
