GIS – Geographic Information Systems. GIS is a computerized system that integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. H2O – Water. This refers to Pennsylvania Act 63 of 2008. This law provides for the allocation of money in the Pennsylvania Gaming Economic Development and Tourism Fund, and for funding of water and sewer projects, storm water projects, flood control projects, and high‐hazard unsafe dam projects. It authorizes the Commonwealth Financing Authority to incur indebtedness up to $800 million to provide funding assistance for such projects. PHASE II LYCOMING COUNTY CHESAPEAKE BAY NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY I&I – Infiltration and Inflow. This refers to stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, or other types of discharges (other than sanitary sewage) that enter the sanitary sewer system, either intentionally or unintentionally. IPC – Industrial Properties Corporation. This is the economic development arm of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. LCCD – Lycoming County Conservation District. This agency was formed under the Conservation District Law and is a subdivision of state government. Its mission is to encourage the use of best management practices to conserve the natural resources essential to the quality of life for the county’s citizens. LCWSA – Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority. MGD – Millions of Gallons per Day. NFWF – National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. This non‐profit foundation provides funding to support environmental initiatives that improve habitat. A current program that is applicable to the Chesapeake Bay Strategy is the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund that provides funding for innovative nutrient and sediment reduction projects. NPDES – National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. This is the permit program required under the federal Water Pollution Control Act (also known as the Clean Water Act), administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. NRCS – National Resource Conservation Service. This service is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Through state and local county offices, its mission is to help people reduce soil erosion, enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce damages caused by floods and other natural disasters. O&M – Operations and Maintenance. PA DEP – Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This agency is primarily responsible for administering the state’s environmental laws and regulations, including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permits that define specific discharge requirements for wastewater treatment plants. PENNVEST ‐ Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority. The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority Act of 1988 authorized the creation of this Authority. Its mission is to provide funding support for sewer, stormwater, and drinking water projects throughout Pennsylvania. REAP – Resource Enhancement and Protection Act of Pennsylvania. This legislation created a program that provides tax credits to landowners who implement best management practices. TMDL – Total Maximum Daily Load – This defines the pollutant load a water body can acquire without violating water quality standards, and allocates the pollutant loading between contributing point sources and non‐point sources. TMDLs are set by state and federal regulatory agencies. USDA – United States Department of Agriculture. WSA – Williamsport Sanitary Authority. WWTP – Wastewater Treatment Plant. PHASE II LYCOMING COUNTY CHESAPEAKE BAY NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY GLOSSARY OF TERMS Aggregator/Broker ‐ An individual or entity that can collect and compile credits from individual sources. These credits can then either be sold on the credit marketplace, or sold directly to a point source, developer, or third‐party. Anaerobic ‐ Not containing oxygen, or not requiring oxygen. Atmospheric Deposition ‐ When pollutants in the air fall onto the land or water. Pollution that falls with rain or snow is called wet deposition, and pollution that falls without precipitation is called dry deposition. Baseline‐ The numeric level of pollution coming from a source during a particular time period, which is used as a standard to measure future reduction goals and allowances against. In other words, a baseline is an existing, or past existing, condition of what is or was actually coming from a source and is used for comparison purposes. Best Management Practices (BMPs) ‐ The most effective and practical ways to control pollutants and meet environmental quality goals. BMPs exist for forestry, agriculture, stormwater, floodplains, and many other sectors. An example of a BMP is installing a riparian buffer between a cultivated agricultural field and stream. Bioretention Site ‐ Also called a rain garden; an innovative method of stormwater management that retains rainwater and uses plants and layers of soil, sand and mulch to reduce the amount of nutrients and other pollutants that enter local waterways. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) ‐ The quantity of oxygen, expressed in parts per million, utilized in the biochemical oxidation of organic matter under standard laboratory procedure for five days at 20 degrees centigrade. This is a universal term describing the strength of wastewater. Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) – The biological nutrient removal (BNR) process uses naturally occurring microbes to remove nutrients from wastewater; BNR achieves nitrogen concentration at or below 8 mg/liter total nitrogen and 1.0 mg/liter total phosphorous. Cap/Cap Load ‐ The maximum amount of nutrients or sediments allowed to be discharged into a given water body. The cap is the baseline minus the pollutant load that needs to be reduced to meet a water quality or restoration goal. Caps are established by appropriate regulatory agencies. Cap Load Allocations – Based on each tributary's nutrient and sediment input to the Bay, the total Chesapeake Bay pollution load is divided proportionally to each tributary and jurisdiction, and are thus set for individual wastewater treatment plants. Cap load allocations show where the nutrient and sediment loads will most effectively be reduced to achieve restoration goals. Combined Sewer System Overflow (CSO) – A combined sewer system is one whereby the sewer system has both storm water and sanitary sewer flow in the same pipe. An overflow is when the carrying capacity is exceeded and the pipe overflows through pre‐determined discharge or relief interceptors/locations. Credit – The unit of compliance that corresponds with a pound of reduction of nutrient or sediment as recognized by PA DEP which may be used in a trade. Credit Reserve – Credits set aside by PA DEP to address nutrient and sediment reduction failures, uncertainty, and to provide liquidity in the market. PHASE II LYCOMING COUNTY

  • West Branch Susquehanna River Watershed
    West Branch Susquehanna River Watershed State of the Watershed Report Completed by the West Branch Susquehanna River Task Force February 11, 2005 A Message From: Dr. Douglas J. Austen, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Michael DiBerardinis, Secretary, PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Kathleen A. McGinty, Secretary, PA Department of Environmental Protection Pennsylvania is renowned for its natural beauty, environmental resources and bounty of outdoor recreational opportunities that draw so many people to experience all that makes Penn’s Woods so grand. Northcentral Pennsylvania was once a major supplier of timber, coal and other raw goods that helped fuel an emerging nation. The resulting pollution problems in the watershed were a legacy our forefathers did not anticipate, but today the area is poised to again capitalize on its natural resources. Governor Edward G. Rendell launched the West Branch Susquehanna River Watershed Initiative to protect a 12-county area that boasts more than 2 million acres of public land and offers unlimited recreational and economic opportunities for Commonwealth residents and visitors. The initiative is designed to restore water quality, enhance recreational opportunities, ensure clean drinking water for residents, revitalize degraded habitat and preserve some of the most pristine open space in the state. The first assignment of the West Branch Susquehanna River Task Force was to prepare this “State of the Watershed Report” to identify problems facing the region, and the main stem and tributaries of the West Branch Susquehanna River. The report addresses current water quality concerns, particularly from abandoned mine lands in the watershed, and also presents an inventory of completed and proposed restoration-related projects by member agencies and watershed groups.
