There have been literally dozens of sites throughout the hundred where waterwheels once turned, but today only one Greenbank Mill in the 1960's, before the fire Mill Creek Hundred 1868 remains. Nestled on the west bank of Red Clay Creek, the Search This Blog Greenbank Mill stands as a living testament to the nearly three and a half century tradition of water-powered milling in MCH. The millseat at Search Greenbank is special to the story of MCH for several reasons -- it was one of the first harnessed here, it's the longest-serving, and it's the only one still in operable condition.

  • 6 CULTURAL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Environmental Setting the Study Area, Located in New Castle County, Falls Within the Piedmont U
    CULTURAL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Environmental Setting The study area, located in New Castle County, falls within the Piedmont Uplands physiographic province, extending from just northwest of the Fall Line marking the transition from the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain and continuing west through the Piedmont. The following summary of the environmental setting of the Piedmont has been abstracted from Custer (1984). The Piedmont Uplands of Delaware represent the northern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula and are characterized by a generally high relief topography dissected by the narrow and sometimes steep stream valleys of relatively small drainage systems; isolated knolls rise above the general level of the landscape. Elevations in the study area range from 90 feet to 370 feet above mean sea level. Thornbury (1965) notes that, within the Piedmont Uplands, there are no large tributaries of the older incised river systems of the Susquehanna and the Delaware Rivers, and that the drainage systems tend to be of lower order. Although broad floodplains may be found along the higher order streams of White Clay Creek and the Brandywine, Elk and Northeast Rivers, the floodplains along the larger tributaries flowing through this portion of the region – the low order tributaries of these rivers - tend to be rather limited in size. The underlying geologic formations consist of folded Paleozoic and Pre-Cambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks. Soils are generally well-drained, but some poorly-drained areas occur in the floodplains and upland flats. The study area is crossed by seven drainages: Hyde Run and its tributary, Coffee Run, flow near the western end of the project area and are low order tributaries of Red Clay Creek; Red Clay Creek and two of its small unnamed tributaries run through the central portion; and Little Mill Creek and one of its tributaries, Little Falls Creek, flow near the eastern end of the project area (Figure 3 shows the locations of these streams).

Background Red Clay Creek is a 54 square mile watershed that is part of the Christina River Basin (Figure 1), which is a subbasin of the Delaware River Basin. It is split between southern Chester County (PA) and northern New Castle County (DE) and is a large source of drinking water for these areas via streams and wells.

  • Streamside Habitat Assessment
    Streamside Habitat Assessment During rain storms forests, wetlands and meadows function like giant sponges soaking and infiltrating water slowly into the ground. When these areas are developed, water can’t soak through roads, parking lots, or building and instead quickly runs into our streams. This results in flooding, pollution, and destruction of the stream habitat. Volunteers have helped monitor these physical stream changes through a Riparian (streamside) Habitat Assessment. These habitat assessments can help determine if a site is capable of supporting a healthy Steep eroding stream banks are commonly a diversity of aquatic life. sign of excess water running into streams during storms. Macroinvertebrate Survey The Riparian Habitat Assessment was supplemented with a quick macroinvertebrate survey. Commonly found macroinvertebrates include aquatic insects, clams, mussels, snails, worms, amphipods, and crayfish. Healthy Delaware streams contain a wide variety of macroinvertebrates, each with its own unique requirements for survival. Pollution sensitive organisms require high levels of oxygen and are sensitive to toxic substances and habitat degradation. Organisms that can withstand very low oxygen levels, high toxicity and/or poor habitat are known as pollution-tolerant species. Differences in macroinvertebrate pollution sensitivity can be used to assess water quality. Pollution sensitive macro’s include: Ephemeroptera (Mayflies), Plecoptera (Stoneflies), and Trichoptera (Caddisflies). However, families within each of these Orders can vary widely in tolerance. The caddisfly family Hydropsychidae, for example, is relatively pollution tolerant. Therefore, identification to family level, or lower, provides a more accurate determination of stream health but is more resource intensive. The Riparian Habitat Assessment study used a rapid screening approach to characterize the macroinvertebrate community which, combined with the visual observations, provides a more comprehensive picture of the stream health and helps to determine sites in need of more in-depth study.

  • Delaware Estuary Water Education Resource Guide
    2003 Delaware Estuary water Education Resource Guide A directory for educators that lists materials an d programs available through local non-profit organizations and governmental agencies on topics relating to water resources. SECOND EDITION Brought to you by: Philadelphia Water Department and Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Inc. September, 2002 Dear Friends, The Philadelphia Water Department, with support from the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, has assembled this guide for educators in the region. The booklet is intended to help "get the word out" about all of the exciting materials and programs that address water-related issues in our region and beyond. Even though the Delaware Estuary, the tidal portion of the Delaware River, is our region's most valuable resource, little is taught about it in our schools. It is awesome to think about how the Estuary defines our lives in so many ways: geographically, economically, culturally, historically, and recreationally. In addition, for many of us, it's the source of our drinking water. This guide will help to connect educators with information on local environmental issues and resources. While it is beneficial for students to learn about the endangered species and problems that face the tropical rainforests, it is more important that they know about the watersheds where they live. Students should know that their backyards are vital habitats that, like the rainforests, are also home to many endangered species. We have attempted to make this comprehensive directory a ready reference tool that you will use time and time again. We hope that you find this resource helpful.
