  • Shoup's Run Watershed Association
    11/1/2004 Shoup Run Watershed Restoration Plan Developed by the Huntingdon County Conservation District for The Shoup Run Watershed Association Introduction Watershed History The Shoup Run, locally known as Shoup’s Run, watershed drains approximately 13,746 acres or 21.8 square miles, in the Appalachian Mountain, Broad Top region of the Valley-Ridge Physiographic Province. Within this province, the area lies within the northwestern section of the Broad Top Mountain Plateau. This area is characterized by narrow valleys and moderately steep mountain slopes. Shoup Run is located in Huntingdon County, but includes drainage from portions of Bedford County. Shoup Run flows into the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River near the community of Saxton at river mile 42.4. Shoup Run has five named tributaries (Figure 1). Approximately 10% of the surface area of the Shoup Run basin has been surface mined. Much of the mining activity was done prior to current regulations and few of the mines were reclaimed to current specifications. Surface mining activity ended in the early 1980’s. There is currently no active mining in the watershed. Deep mines underlie approximately 12% of the Shoup Run watershed. Many abandoned deep mine entries and openings still exist in the Shoup Run Basin. Deep mining was done below the water table in many locations. In order to dewater the mines, drifts were driven into the deep mines to allow water to flow down slope and out of many of the mines. The bedrock in this area is folded and faulted. Tunnels were driven through many different lithologies to allow drainage.

  • HIST 213, Rivers of North America, North American Environmental
    HIST 213/ENST 213 North American Environmental History: Rivers of North America Fall 2019 Mondays, 2:00-4:52 ACWS 215 Contact Professor Claire Campbell Coleman 69 Office hours: Wednesdays 2-3pm or by appointment 570-577-1364 [email protected] In order to obtain an accurate idea of these New World forests, we always realized that we had to follow some of the rivers which flow beneath their overhanging shadows. Rivers resemble great tracks carefully provided by Providence, from the beginning of the world, to penetrate the wilderness, allowing man access. Alexis de Tocqueville, 1832 Rivers cannot change their source, only their course. Neither can we change their histories or their influence on us. Del Barber, 2011 Welcome to the study of environmental history in North America. Environmental history asks us to consider our relationships with nature in the past: how nature has shaped human thought and human actions, and how, in turn, humans have shaped the landscapes around them. Nature and society is each actor and acted upon. Like all history, it looks for both change and continuity. But environmental historians may focus on physical or material evidence (places and products of resource extraction, patterns of settlement, the grooves of transportation routes). Or they may deal with the imaginative and ideological (how cartography, art, and science understand and represent the natural world; how we process nature into political empires, bodies of knowledge, networks of exchange, and “sense of place”). Finding our way to a sustainable relationship with the natural world is, quite simply, the crucial issue facing us in the twenty-first century.

  • Union County Clean Water Technical Toolbox
    UNION COUNTY CLEAN WATER TECHNICAL TOOLBOX Developing a County-Based Action Plan for Clean Water October 2020 UNION COUNTY TECHNICAL TOOLBOX Pennsylvania Phase 3 Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) The Local Planning Process to Meet Countywide Goals Introduction Welcome to your Clean Water Technical Toolbox. This document has been prepared to help you improve local water quality. This collaborative effort is being made throughout Pennsylvania’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Each Pennsylvania county within the watershed will have a Technical Toolbox with similar components tailored to that county’s specific conditions. What is the Technical Toolbox? This toolbox has been developed as a starting point for each county to use to improve local water quality. It contains useful and specific data and information relevant to your county to assist you with reaching local water quality goals. No county is required to use every tool in this toolbox! You are encouraged to add other tools as fits your local situation. This toolbox serves as a guide to assist with collaborative efforts, not as a regulatory tool. Pennsylvania’s Phase 3 WIP state workgroups have developed a series of recommendations that can apply across the watershed. These recommendations, found in Appendix I, are to be used as a starting point for your county. You can use these recommendations to develop your Countywide Action Plan, or you may want to adjust the recommendations based on your county’s needs as you develop your Countywide Action Plan. - 1 - The Local Story: Opportunities to Improve Local Water Quality and Meet Countywide Goals Information is available that can help inform local planning strategies.
