The university announced Monday its Freshwater Research Institute and the Snyder County Conservation District were awarded a $32,000 grant from DEP. The funding will support the development of a watershed implementation plan for the watershed and the creation of a quality assurance project plan to guide future monitoring.
Work will go into identifying sources of pollution within the watershed, and outline best management practices. There will be three to-be-announced public meetings with landowners in the watershed to solicit needs and historical knowledge.
