Project No. 016B62-001
The objective of the 4.2-acre wetland restoration, sponsored by Albert Carlisle in Subbasin 16, the Upper Allegheny River watershed, is to provide wetland habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife species. A secondary benefit of the project is to improve water quality to Spring Creek, classified as a high quality cold water fishery (HQ-CWF), by trapping nutrients and sediment from upslope agricultural operations. Additionally, large runoff flows have overtopped the dirt and gravel township road (T-336), causing not only continuing maintenance but also a public safety hazard. The project was designed to detain large runoff flows and piping these flows under the roadway. The project is located on the Carlisle property in Spring Creek Township, Warren County (Spring Creek, PA Quadrangle N: 20.5 inches, W: 4.75 inches).
Project No. SO7J36-001
The objective of the 2.6-acre wetland restoration, sponsored by Warwick Township, Lancaster County in Subbasin 7, the Lower Susquehanna River watershed, is to improve water quality of the Santo Domingo Creek by diverting water through a created wetland system that will capture and retain sediment and nutrients. The restored wetland will be part of the Warwick Township riparian park system and provide important wetland habitat and educational opportunities within a suburban setting. The project is located in Warwick Township, Lancaster County (Lititz, PA Quadrangle N: 7.5 inches; W: 7.5 inches).
