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.

  • Chapter 18 Natural Resources
    Chapter 18 Natural Resources PHYSICAL LOCATION Shippensburg Borough and Shippensburg Township are located in the heart of Cumberland Valley, within the Ridge and Valley Province. Blue Mountain is situated towards the north (locally known as “North Mountain”) and South Mountain lies in a southeasterly direction from the Borough. The topography of the region itself can be described as gently rolling or relatively flat due to its location in a valley. The terrain has elevations ranging from approximately 640 to 720 feet. STREAMS AND WATERSHEDS The watersheds and streams in the region are shown on Figure 18.1, Water Related Features Map. There are several streams which influence the region including the Middle Spring Creek, Burd Run, and a tributary to the Middle Spring Creek (locally known as “Branch Creek”), which carries the headwaters to the Middle Spring Creek from the Dykeman Spring area. The watersheds described on Figure 18.1 drain into the Middle Spring Creek Basin, which drains into the Conodoguinet Creek Watershed, and ultimately ends up draining into the Susquehanna River through the Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin. The Lower Susquehanna River Sub-basin has a total drainage area of 5,809 square miles and includes the drainage area of the Conestoga, Conodoguinet, Swatara, Conewago, and Penn’s Creeks and several nearby streams. There are three watersheds within the region. Middle Spring Creek and Burd Run Watersheds drain almost the entire Township, while Rowe Run and Burd Run drain portions of the Borough. Dykeman’s Spring, located within the Borough, are the headwaters for the north-flowing Middle Spring Creek.
