  • THE CATALYST July SRWC Meeting Has Been Cancelled
    July 2011 THE CATALYST SLIPPERY ROCK WATERSHED COALITION MONTHLY ACTIVITIES UPDATE THIS MONTH’S MEETING: Cancelled due to multiple schedule conflicts. Next meeting: 7 pm on Thursday 8/11/11 at Jennings Environmental Education Center, pizza and pop provided. 6/9/11 meeting attendance: B. Busler, C. Busler, M. Busler, S. Busler, D. Carney, C. Denholm, M. Dunn, V. Kefeli, B. Silvis, W. Taylor Update on the Slippery Rock Creek Watershed Conservation Plan (SRCWCP) By Laurie Popeck The final round of public meetings for the SRCWCP were com- pleted during the last week of June 2011. Meetings were con- ducted at two locations in the watershed. Representatives from the Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition, the SRCWCP Advisory Council, Stream Restoration Inc., BioMost, Inc., and Planning & Economic Development Association Inc. were in attendance. The final meetings provided the opportunity not only to discuss the plan but also to answer questions from the local stakeholders. Thanks again to the municipal officials of Slippery Rock Township and the Boyers Sportsmen’s Club for graciously allowing the use of their facilities. Thanks also to the public for attending the meetings as well as the Advisory Council members for their help throughout the project duration. A couple of weeks prior to the meetings, Laurie Popeck , SRCWCP Project Facilitator, was invited to be interviewed for the SRCWCP project by Dave Ma- larkey of radio WISR - AM 680 in Butler, PA. This was the second time that Dave welcomed Laurie to his program. Once again, he was a very knowledge- able host who asked great questions that helped to provide insights relating to the benefits of the SRCWCP to the stakeholders of the watershed.

    COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES ANNANDALE - HALLSTON HYDROLOGIC AND PROPERTY STUDY SLIPPERY ROCK CREEK MINE DRAINAGE PROJECT SL 110-4-101.1A BUTLER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Prepared by GWIN, DOBSON & FOREMAN, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS ALTOONA, PA COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES ANNANDALE - HALLSTON HYDROLOGIC AND PROPERTY STUDY SLIPPERY ROCK CREEK MINE DRAINAGE PROJECT SL 110-4-101.1A BUTLER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA ANNANDALE NO. 2 MINE Introduction The purpose of this report is to investigate the property and hydrology that will be affected by the sealing of the Annandale No. 2 Mine Complex in Marion and Venango Townships in Butler County. The proposed sealing of the mine will dramatically abate mine acid drainage that presently flows into Seaton Creek; one of the main tributaries (and worst polluters) of Slippery Rock Creek. The preparation of this report included identification of the property lines, verification of subsequent mineral rights, locating and sampling water sources (wells and springs) and delineation of the hydrologic area that will be affected by the proposed mine sealing. The accompanying map of the area, shown with the above information, is included for reference. Geology The Annandale No. 2 Mine Area is underlain by sedimentary rocks which reach a maximum thickness of about 12,000 feet. This sedimentary succession ranges in age from Cambrian through Pennsylvanian. Surface rocks in the vicinity are of the Pennsylvanian Age. They have been divided, in ascending order, into the Pottsville, Allegheny and Conemaugh Groups. The stratigraphic sequence as related to coal is associated with the Allegheny Group. The formation is approximately 280 feet thick and is at or near the surface in the northern half of the county.

VanAtta 2021 Fish-for-Free Days in Pennsyvlania The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has designated the an- nual Fish-for-Free Days for Sunday, May 30 and Sunday, July 4. An- yone, resident or non-resident, is eligible to fish without a fishing li- cense or trout or Lake Erie permits. These days are great opportuni- ties for families to try fishing for the first time. There are great oppor- tunities for fishing in the Slippery Rock Creek Watershed. Some of our personal favorites are Slippery Rock Creek Gorge in McConnells Mill State Park and Lake Arthur. Or if you are up to a challenge, you can attempt to try to catch some naturally reproducing brown trout in Hell Run. Please remember that all other fishing regulations still ap- ply! For those without fishing equipment, the PFBC has developed a Fishing Tackle Loaner Program where you can borrow fishing equip- ment similar to the way you borrow a book from a library. For more information, please visit the PFBC website at https:// pfbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html? id=eea001d1a15b49b9ae8375136b8c97ae.

  • Stream Quality Evaluation Stream Quality Evaluation
    STREAM QUALITY EVALUATION STREAM QUALITY EVALUATION General Discussion Downstream from the origin and point source of discharge, mine drainage becomes a pollution problem identified with the water quality of rivulets, tributary streams, and the main receiving stream. The degree to which the receiving body of water is affected depends upon many variables including the extent and kinds of mining operations, types and volumes of mine water, availability of alkaline streams, rainfall, and watershed drainage characteristics. Viewed as a water pollution problem, a mine drainage investigation includes a study of stream conditions to help in assessing the magnitude of the problem and evaluate the pollution affect in terms of overall water resources of the area. With this objective in mind, the water quality in the Slippery Rock Creek Study Area was sampled periodically throughout the 1969 study and tested for pH, acidity, alkalinity, iron and sulfates. Sampling stations were established near the mouths of all the major tributaries as well as at suitable intervals along the main stem to determine the effect of drainage from each sub- watershed and the resulting water quality profile for Slippery Rock Creek. An attempt was also made to characterize stream flow in the Study Area through discharge measurements and time of travel determinations. Sampling points pertinent to a presentation of the water quality investigation are shown on the Location Map, Figure 12. Stations were designated by numbers and/or names. The numbers 1-29 indicate stream sampling points, while names are used to designate locations which refer to stream flow studies. Specific locations for all stations are referenced to roads and bridges in Table 13.

  • Blacks Creek
    NONPOINT SOURCE SUCCESS STORY TreatmentPennsylvania of Mine Drainage Improves Blacks Creek (Venango County) Waterbody Improved Metals in discharges from abandoned coal mines impaired Blacks Creek, prompting the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to add 5.6 miles of the mainstem stream and 13.0 miles of unnamed tributaries to the state’s Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters in 1996 and 2004, respectively. In response, project partners installed three passive treatment systems at a cost of nearly $1 million to address the impacts of the mine drainage discharges entering the stream. Water quality and aquatic habitat have been improving since project work began, and more systems are planned in the future in hopes of continuing this trend. Problem Western Pennsylvania's Blacks Creek watershed drains approximately 9 square miles in Butler and Venango counties and is a major headwaters tributary and subwatershed of Slippery Rock Creek in the Ohio River watershed (Figure 1). This watershed is predominantly forested but has experienced significant impairments from abandoned mine drainage (AMD) discharges from abandoned mines or oil wells dating back to the 1800s. Nonpoint source runoff from these AMD discharges delivers high metals loads to Blacks Creek. Due to the influence of layers of limestone underlying the area, most of Blacks Creek and its tributaries have an acceptable pH and are net-alkaline. Figure 1. Blacks Creek is in western Pennsylvania. A stream survey conducted by PADEP indicated that After development of the TMDL in 2005, Stream Blacks Creek was a degraded aquatic ecosystem with Restoration Incorporated (SRI) received a CWA section depressed aquatic life due to AMD impacts.
