West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Coalition
Moshannon Creek Watershed Coalition receives Watershed Project Grant from PA American Water
The organization plans to develop a conceptual design report for a treatment system to address acid mine drainage in the headwaters of the Moshannon Creek. The grant will be used to prepare an abatement study to quantify and document the environmental pollution from the MC FORE acid mine discharge, which has been caused by extensive coal and clay mining from years past. This study will help the organization obtain state and federal funding to permit and construct the treatment solution for the acid mine discharge. Furthermore, the project represents a new initiative to begin water quality restoration and protection activities for Moshannon Creek.
