  • 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.

  • Allegheny County Natural Heritage Inventory, 1994
    ALLEGHENY COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Allegheny County Board of Commissioners Tom Foerster, Chairman Pete Flaherty Larry Dunn Project Management: Allegheny County Planning Department Raymond L. Reaves, Director Andrew M. Loza, Project Manager Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania February 1994 This study was developed in part with financial assistance provided through the Recreational Improvement and Rehabilitation Act Program (RIRA Grant # RIRA-TAG-8-2), as administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation Printed on recycled paper PREFACE The Allegheny County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Allegheny County's most significant natural areas. The study investigated plant and animal species and communities that are unique or uncommon in Allegheny County; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat, education and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection on any of the areas listed here. It is however a tool for informed and responsible decision-making. Public and private organizations may use the inventory to guide land acquisition and conservation decisions. Local municipalities and the County may use it to help with comprehensive planning, zoning and the review of development proposals. Developers, utility companies and government agencies alike may benefit from access to this environmental information prior to detailed development plans being made. Although the inventory was conducted using a tested and proven methodology, it is best viewed as a preliminary report rather than the final word on the subject of Allegheny County's natural heritage. Further investigations could potentially uncover a few previously unidentified Natural Heritage Areas. Likewise, in-depth investigations of sites listed in this report could reveal greater natural wealth than has been documented here.

  • Historic Landmark Plaques 1968–2014
    CONTENTS Historic Landmark Plaque Criteria iii Other Plaque Designation Categories: v Local, State, and National Historic Landmark Plaque Recipients 1 Index 31 Membership Application 41 HISTORIC LANDMARK PLAQUE CRITERIA In 1968 , the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) began an Historic Landmark plaque program to identify architecturally significant structures and designed landscapes throughout Allegheny County . Beginning in 2010, PHLF expanded its Historic Landmark plaque program to include counties beyond Allegheny, especially if the applicant site has some connection to the Greater Pittsburgh region, e.g., property owned by a leading Pittsburgher or the work of a distinguished Pittsburgh architect. Since PHLF has extended its area of operation to within a 250-mile radius of Pittsburgh, it is logical to extend the reach of its plaque program also. Buildings, structures, districts, and landscapes may be approved for an Historic Landmark plaque if all of the following conditions are met: • they are remarkable pieces of architecture, engineering, construction, landscape design, or planning, or impart a rich sense of history; • alterations, additions, or deterioration have not substantially lessened their value in the above respects; • they are at least 50 years old and are located within 250 miles of Pittsburgh (which is PHLF’s area of service); • they are not located in historic districts bearing a plaque (unless of exceptional individual significance). If awarded, the handsome 18" by 12" plaque will be ordered by PHLF, but the owner must bear the cost and properly install it. Typically, bronze plaques cost around $425; aluminum plaques cost around $250. (continued) iii An Historic Landmark plaque identifies the site as a significant part of our local heritage; it will not protect a building from alteration or demolition.
