  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018.

  • Watershed 11A, Little Juniata River
    08/22/01 DEP Bureau of Watershed Management Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 11A Little Juniata River and Frankstown Branch Watersheds Blair, Huntingdon, Bedford, Cambria, and Centre Counties Introduction The 738-square mile Subbasin 11A consists of two major parts, the 395-square mile Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries Beaverdam Branch, Blair Gap Run, Canoe Creek, Piney Creek, and Clover Creek, and the 343-square mile Little Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries, Bald Eagle Creek, Sinking Creek, and Spruce Creek. A total of 1,051 streams flow for 1,314 miles through the subbasin. The subbasin is included in HUC Area 2050302, Upper Juniata River, a Category I, FY99/2000 Priority watershed under the Unified Watershed Assessment developed by the Department in 1998. The Frankstown Branch and the Little Juniata River join to form the man stem Juniata River at the eastern edge of the subbasin. Geology/Topography The topography and geology of the subbasin is varied, as is typical of the Ridge and Valley Ecoregion, which comprises most of the subbasin. This area consists of a series of narrow northeast-southwest trending ridges and steep, narrow valleys formed during the uplift of the Appalachian Mountain chain. Most of the mountains are folded into tight loops and form dead- end valleys. The numerous folds in the mountains result in repetition of rock types throughout the basin, with sandstone-quartzite on the ridges and limestone and shale in the valleys. The steeply sloping topography can lead to increased runoff during storm events and discourage infiltration to the groundwater.

  • Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory
    HUNTINGDON COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Huntingdon County Planning Commission 205 Penn Street, Suite 3 Huntingdon, PA 16652 Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy 209 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 This project was funded through grants supplied by the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – Office of Wild Resource Conservation. PREFACE The Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Huntingdon County’s most significant natural places. The study investigated plant and animal species and natural communities that are unique or uncommon in the county; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection to any of the areas listed in the report. 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 the creation of detailed development plans. 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 Huntingdon County’s natural heritage. Further investigations could potentially uncover previously unidentified Natural Heritage Areas. Likewise, in-depth investigations of sites listed in this report could reveal features of further or greater significance than have been documented. Some of the areas described here are privately owned.
