July 30, 2010 (with Errata sheet dated 2/4/2011) - 231 pages



The Valley Creek Watershed Stormwater Management Plan addresses the impacts of stormwater quality and quantity on groundwater and surface water resources, geomorphology, and aquatic habitat of the Valley Creek watershed.

The reason for preparing this Plan is to satisfy the requirements of the Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Act, Act 167 of 1978, and to establish scientifically-based stormwater management implementation strategies that restore and protect the water resources and maintain safe and productive communities.

Valley Creek Watershed Technical Compendium

 


July 2004


The study included a watershed assessment, including both a water quality assessment and a fluvial geomorphology (FGM) assessment. The purpose of these assessments were to identify stream reaches that are functioning well, in addition to those reaches in need of restoration. The stream characteristics evaluated included the stream’s geometry, water quality, habitat, stream bank stability, geology and topographic features.

The results, conclusions and recommendations from the watershed assessments have been published in the Valley Creek Watershed Technical Compendium.
