Solomon Creek Coldwater Conservation Plan Is to Be Used As a Tool That Will Help to Educate and Build Community Consensus for the Conservation of the Coldwater Stream Solomon Creek Coldwater Conservation Plan Prepared by the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) "Among the numerous streams that rush from the mountain into the bosom of the majestic Susquehanna, the beautiful cascade of Solomon's Creek is well calculated to gratify the ardent admirer of the works of Nature. Surrounded with dark hemlocks, the rocks stained with moss and partially covered with laurel and other evergreens, it forms one of the finest scenes for the pencil of the painter. Dashing, foaming and working its tempestuous way down the mountain's side, it here precipitates itself, in the most romantic and picturesque manner, over a ledge of rocks into a natural basin; from which, winding beneath overhanging rocks, it passes through a narrow, perpendicular fissure which runs in a rapid and winding course to the river." J. Cist, c. 1809 Educational Disclaimer The Eastern PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR), its professional staff, and work performed by students, interns, and volunteers is to be used for educational and planning purposes only and makes no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the quality of any product produced. Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless EPCAMR against any claims arising of the Sponsor’s utilization, sale, or transfer of reports developed in whole or in part by EPCAMR, it’s professional staff, students, interns, and or volunteers. The Solomon Creek Coldwater Conservation Plan is to be used as a tool that will help to educate and build community consensus for the conservation of the coldwater stream.

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.
