CATAWISSA CREEK WATERSHED

Columbia and Schuylkill Counties
This beautiful, tranquil stream, which would appear to be a fisherman's paradise, but drainage from abandoned mines has made it an unsuitable environment for aquatic life. There is hope, however, because work is being done to change all of this. If you are concerned with your environment but don't think this effects you, read on and decide for yourself.
 

CATAWISSA CREEK WATERSHED RIVERS CONSERVATION PLAN

Do you live in or near the Catawissa Creek Watershed? If so the Pennsylvania Environmental Council is requesting your input for the Catawissa Watershed Rivers Conservation Plan project. PEC is conducting this survey in order to obtain information on the major issues facing you and your community that are related to the rivers conservation plan. Such issues may include, but are not limited to, stream bank erosion, mining issues, flooding, recreation (trail and park development), and historic preservation. The information gathered from these surveys will be used to develop the final Plan. As part of this project, we need to determine the community's issues, such as stream bank erosion, flooding, park development, tourism, etc. This questionnaire is one method we are using to gather this information.

Just download the questionnaire, fill it out, save it and then either e-mail it to jsweeney@pecpa.org or fax it back to the Pennsylvania Environmental Council at 570-718-6508.

If you would like to become further involved with this project, please indicate so on the bottom of the questionnaire and we will add you to the Steering Committee list. You will then be invited to attend monthly meetings that will be held though out the rest of the year.
