PPRREEFFAACCEE

The following background was written by John Jarvis in August, 2003.

The late John Jarvis was the driving force behind the founding of the Hourglass Foundation. He was passionate about water as a precious resource. He worked tirelessly to inform the community on the history of the Susquehanna River and the importance of protecting it for future generations.

TTHHEE SSUUSSQQUUEEHHAANNNNAA RRIIVVEERR Early explorers, writers and artists have marveled at its beauty. There was ruggedness, and yet serenity that impressed those who penetrated its borders……

At the mouth of the Conestoga River on the rocks of the Susquehanna are “the picture rocks” which are now listed on the National Register of Historic places. They were carved many years before the first Europeans by unknown Indians to celebrate the sacredness of their homeland.

William Penn wrote “the river was broader than the Thames at London Bridge…

Deer and elk cross the river in great herds.” Thomas Mifflin, Lancaster artist, depicted its mystery.

The creator of Treasure Island and The Childs Garden of Verses said, “The beauty

of the name Susquehanna was part and parcel of the beauty of the land.”

Lancastrians have perhaps not always fully appreciated the Susquehanna. It was, after all, a boundary of the County just as it had been a frontier land when the first settlers moved inland. It was a boundary in the Civil War when forces from the South reached the river a few days before the battle of Gettysburg and were stopped by the burning of the bridge at Wrightsville. Yes, the Susquehanna has been a border and those who live near it have often assumed that where it came from, or went to, were of little

or no concern of theirs. The Susquehanna River is the nation's sixteenth largest river and is the largest river lying entirely in the United States that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The Susquehanna and its hundreds of tributaries drain 27,510 square miles, an area nearly the size of South Carolina, spread over parts of the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland and delivers 25 billion gallons to the Chesapeake Bay on an average day and on a day of high flood, 650 billion gallons. The river meanders 444 miles from its origin at Otsego Lake near Cooperstown, N.Y., until it empties into the Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, Md. The Susquehanna contributes one-half of the freshwater flow to the Bay. It is now time for Lancastrians and all in the Susquehanna watershed to care for this natural phenomenon that has shaped and is shaping our lives, whether we know it or not.

The men and women who crossed the river to reach new lands and new opportunities were not aware of the effect of their imprint on the river basin. The lands were so vast that it did not occur to them that what they did would affect the health of the river and future generations. The magnificent forests along the West Branch were stripped and the rivers running into the Susquehanna ran foul with debris.

Later, the mining of rich coal seams of the North and West Branches killed the river and its creatures, for when air and water mix with coal, sulfuric acid is formed – no creature can survive that caustic mixture. The cities and towns along the river and in its watersheds viewed the water as useful drainage ditches for their sewage. Homes and businesses

were built on the river banks. The Susquehanna periodically shows its might and destroys these encroachments. The tropical storm, Agnes, in 1972, swept away the levees, dams and homes – 25,000 homes and apartments were destroyed in the Wyoming Valley and the overall property costs were $4,000,000,000. The Susquehanna River is a force to be reckoned with. It is telling us that we cannot allow private gain to be acceptable and the common good be ignored.

As Susan Stranahan, in her book, “Susquehanna, River of Dreams, concludes… “Every day along the river, the ranks of those with great hopes for the Susquehanna are growing. And the dream for this majestic river is no longer selfishness.” The Susquehanna is at a turning point … we can either care for its well being or we can help destroy the fragile ecosystem in which we

live. It’s not enough to consider the river alone, but its entire watershed. It has become obvious that the Chesapeake Bay and the Susquehanna are a unified part of our heritage.

As THE LARGEST RIVER ON THE EAST COAST of the United States, the Susquehanna River

is the indispensable tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, the nation’s largest estuary.

Gathering strength from thousands of streams along its 444-mile journey, the river delivers half of the freshwater the bay requires to maintain

its ecological balance.

The clean-up of the Chesapeake Bay is no longer a voluntary goal. The Federal government has mandated standards that place strict limits on discharges into the Susquehanna River from all sources. Pennsylvania, like other states, has been required by the Environmental Protection Agency to submit and adhere to a watershed improvement plan that will meet total maximum daily load requirements for controlling river pollutants.

Lancaster County will be required to meet the tough new standards. It will be a difficult and costly task since river pollution is affected by farm runoff, municipal/industrial wastewater, stormwater runoff, and other sources.

The purpose of this document is to provide insight and information into the challenge for Lancaster County in cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 9

IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN The Chesapeake Bay is the valley of the Susquehanna River that became flooded with the rise in sea level that followed the retreat of the Pleistocene glaciers. The Bay has over 11,000 miles of shoreline. Fresh water enters the Bay from 110,000 miles of creeks, streams and rivers. The largest of these rivers, and the Bay’s principal source of water, is the Susquehanna River. The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. The Chesapeake Bay is America’s largest and most biologically diverse estuary, home to more than 3,600 species of plants, fish and shellfish. The Bay serves as the center of the ecologically vital North American Flyway for migratory birds, and it is the spawning area for 90 percent of all the striped bass in the Atlantic. 1

The United States Congress calls the Chesapeake Bay “a national treasure and a resource of worldwide significance.”

Efforts to restore the water quality of the Bay go back many years. The passage of the Clean Water Act by Congress has made improvement of water quality a National objective. The initial Chesapeake Bay Agreement in 1987 set goals for the surrounding states and the District of Columbia to voluntarily reduce the flow of pollutants into the Bay. The initial and subsequent voluntary agreements failed to fully reach the established goals. Although significant reductions in pollution loads were achieved, the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment reaching the Bay continue to impair the quality of the Bay’s water and the myriad forms of life that are dependent upon the ecology of the Bay. The previous rate of cleanup has been determined to be too slow to save the Bay from further degradation. There is no single source of pollution that has caused all the current problems in the Chesapeake Bay. Agricultural runoff, stormwater runoff, sewage treatment plant discharges, the practices of every homeowner and business in the watershed, and even naturally occurring processes have all contributed significant amounts of pollution. Those who study the Bay also know that no single entity can reasonably be expected to shoulder the full burden of cleaning up the Bay. It will take a concerted effort by everyone. Because all the waterways in Lancaster County ultimately flow in the Chesapeake Bay, pollution reduction in Lancaster County is vitally important. Also because Lancaster County is located at the lower end of the Susquehanna River Basin pollution has less distance to travel than from upper reaches of the watershed. As a consequence impacts are more immediate. This means that Lancaster’s farmers must protect their streams and control their runoff. Municipalities and developers must do more to improve both the quantity and the quality of stormwater runoff. Sewage treatment plants must Reduce and improve the quality of discharges. Businesses and homeowners must limit what runs off their properties and be careful what they put down their drains. 1 Saving A National Treasure

Although the initial Chesapeake Bay Agreement set voluntary goals for Pennsylvania, and by extension Lancaster County, to reduce pollution, the continued impairment of the Chesapeake Bay waters can no longer be countenanced. As a result of lawsuits and a US District Court settlement order, the federal government has now substituted mandatory targets for the former voluntary goals. These mandatory standards are incorporated in Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that place limits on discharges from all sources into streams along with more stringent tracking and reporting requirements. A TMDL is defined as the “maximum allowable load of a pollutant that a water body can receive while still meeting its water quality standard.” The Chesapeake Bay TMDL initially addresses three pollutants – nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment. Because the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed2

are so large and complex, regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have relied on computer models for critical information about the ecosystem’s characteristics and the impact of various environmental actions to reduce pollution. These model simulations are based on state-of-the-art, extensively peer-reviewed science.

The Chesapeake Bay Program relies upon models to forecast the effects of changing nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment management in the Chesapeake Bay. The models also form the basis of the current total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations.7 To simulate the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the river flows, and associated transport and fate of nutrients and sediment that contribute to Chesapeake Bay water quality degradation, the Chesapeake Bay Community Phase 5.3 Watershed Model was developed. The Phase 5.3 Model, in conjunction with models of the Chesapeake air shed and estuary, provides estimates of management actions needed to protect water quality and restore living resources in the Chesapeake. Detailed information on Phase 5.3 Watershed Model can be found at: http://www.chesapekebay./net/model_phade5.aspx?menuitem=26169 Information on progress in implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL can be found at the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Tracking and Accounting System (BayTAS): http://stat.chesapeakebay.net/

TTIIMMEELLIINNEE OOFF CCLLEEAANN WWAATTEERR LLAAWWSS AANNDD RREEGGUULLAATTIIOONNSS 1948 Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 (WPCA) authorized the Surgeon General of the

Public Health Service, in cooperation with other Federal, state and local entities, to prepare comprehensive programs for eliminating or reducing the pollution of interstate waters and tributaries and improving the sanitary condition of surface and underground waters. The original statute also authorized the Federal Works Administrator to assist states, municipalities, and interstate agencies in constructing treatment plants to prevent discharges of inadequately treated sewage and other wastes into interstate waters or tributaries. Note the emphasis on state and local plans and water quality improvement initiatives.

1970 The United States Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established to consolidate in one agency a variety of federal research, monitoring, standard-setting and enforcement activities to ensure environmental protection. EPA's mission is to protect human health and to safeguard the natural environment—air, water, and land—upon which life depends.

1972 The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (P.L. 92-500) stipulated broad national objectives to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters (33 U.S.C. 1251).

For the first time the law recognized a distinction between point and non-point sources of water pollution. It was not until the amendments of 1987 that the act authorized measures to address non-point source pollution (stormwater runoff from farm lands, forests, construction sites, and urban areas), then estimated to represent more than 50% of the nation’s remaining water pollution problems.

The 1972 amendments established the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to authorize EPA issuance of discharge permits (33 U.S.C. 1342).

1977 "Clean Water Act" (CWA) became the Act's common name with WPCA amendments in 1977.

1987 CWA amendments authorized measures to address such pollution by directing states to develop and implement nonpoint pollution management programs (Section 319 of the act). States were encouraged to pursue groundwater protection activities as part of their overall non-point pollution control efforts. Federal financial assistance was authorized to support demonstration projects and actual control activities. These grants may cover up to 60% of program implementation costs.

While the act imposes great technological demands, it also recognizes the need for comprehensive research on water quality problems. This is provided throughout the statute, on topics including pollution in the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay, in-place toxic pollutants in harbors and navigable waterways, and water pollution resulting from mine drainage. The act also provides support to train personnel who operate and maintain wastewater treatment facilities.

Section 117 of the Act focused on the Chesapeake Bay, requiring scientific and estuarine research of the Chesapeake Bay.

1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement is signed by Bay Program partners. The 1987 Agreement sets a goal to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus entering the Bay by 40 percent by the year 2000. It also directs the Bay Program to study atmospheric inputs to the Bay.

1992 The Chesapeake Bay Agreement 1992 amendments are issued, giving nutrient reductions a tributary focus. The amendments call for a permanent nutrient cap after 2000.

2000 The deadline established in the 1987 Bay Agreement is not met. Cleanup had succeeded in reducing phosphorus only by 25 percent and nitrogen only by 13 percent, according to EPA.

In response, state and federal leaders made an even bolder promise: the "Chesapeake 2000 Agreement." They would cut pollution more than they had pledged in 1987 and have the Chesapeake removed from an EPA list of "impaired waters" by 2010.

2009 By the beginning of 2009 it was obvious that the goals of the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement would also not be met. In response, on May 12th, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 135083 for the Protection and Restoration of the Chesapeake Bay, which recognized that while the Chesapeake is one of our nation’s greatest treasures, the efforts of the past 25 years were not showing sufficient progress in restoring the health of the Bay and its watershed4

2010 On May 11th, the EPA entered into a

. The Order required EPA to draft and release a Strategy for Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and to release a Fiscal Year 2011 Action Plan not later than September 30, 2010.

settlement agreement in Fowler v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that specified a timetable for EPA to implement programs to reduce nutrients and sediment pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. The following day, EPA issued the final Strategy for Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. As part of the settlement agreement EPA committed to adopting a new Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Chesapeake Bay by the end of 2010.

Each State was required to develop and submit to EPA for approval a Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) that meet the pollution reduction standards of the new TMDL.

On Nov. 29, 2010 the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection submitted to the EPA Pennsylvania’s draft Phase 1 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP). The draft WIP focused on increasing enforcement of current laws. The draft WIP, however, was not accepted by the EPA.

On Dec. 23, 2010 DEP provided a revised WIP to EPA. The major revision made between the Nov. 29, 2010 WIP and the Dec. 23, 2010 WIP was the inclusion of a schedule for implementation of “best management practices.”

On December 29, 2010 the EPA adopted the final TMDL for the Chesapeake Bay.

2011 On Jan. 11, 2011, after making some additional revisions to the draft WIP, the

Pennsylvania DEP provided the revised final WIP to EPA.

Once introduced into the watershed, the fate of nitrogen is dependent upon its source. A large fraction of the nitrogen from municipal and industrial wastewater point sources and urban runoff, which can be categorized either as a non-point source or regulated source, is rapidly transported to the Bay. Of the nitrogen introduced into agricultural systems, most is used in the system and then lost to the atmosphere, discharged into an aquatic system or stored in the soil.5

Phosphorous occurs naturally in the soils and sediments of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed, released slowly from minerals weathering and from decomposition of vegetation, with limited injection from the atmosphere. However, with growth in the human population and per-capital resource use, phosphorus has been introduced into the Bay watershed through the import of phosphorus fertilizer and of phosphorus-containing commodities, especially food and feed. Phosphorus is either incorporated into agricultural products or lost to the environment during the food and feed production process.4

Sediment delivery to coastal waters by rivers and streams is a natural process created by the weathering of rocks and soil, but agricultural and urban/suburban activities have accelerated erosion and are now major contributors to sediments loads to the Bay.4

IIMMPPLLEEMMEENNTTAATTIIOONN OOFF TTHHEE TTMMDDLL The basic means of implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL is the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Mandated by Congress under the Clean Water Act, NPDES is a comprehensive national program for addressing the discharges which adversely affect the quality of our nation’s waters.

The NPDES permitting mechanism will require the implementation of controls designed to prevent harmful pollutants from being washed by stormwater runoff into local water bodies.

Regulated entities must obtain coverage under an NPDES permit that effectively reduces or prevents the discharge of pollutants into receiving waters. The permitting authority is an NPDES permit issued directly by the EPA Regional Office, or a Pennsylvania General Permit, depending on the type of entity and its locations. Related General Permits include:

Polluted stormwater runoff is a leading cause of impairment to the nearly 40 percent of surveyed U.S. water bodies which do not meet water quality standards. Over land or via storm sewer systems, polluted runoff is discharged, often untreated directly into local water bodies. When left uncontrolled this water pollution can result in the destruction of fish, wildlife, and aquatic life habitats; a loss of aesthetic value; and threats to public health due to contaminated food, drinking water supplies, and recreational waterways.

TTHHEE PPEENNNNSSYYLLVVAANNIIAA WWAATTEERRSSHHEEDD IIMMPPLLEEMMEENNTTAATTIIOONN PPLLAANN EPA and the seven Bay Watershed Jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania, are subject to a court-approved settlement agreement and an Executive Order from the White House to reduce pollution in the Bay. EPA has adopted the Chesapeake Bay TMDL, which is the most stringent TMDL in the Nation. Essentially, the TMDL establishes a “diet” of how much pollution Pennsylvania can allow to flow down the Susquehanna River and other tributaries into the Bay. To meet this pollution “diet” Pennsylvania has been required to adopt a Watershed Implementation Plan. The Pennsylvania Watershed Implementation Plan sets forth a detailed action plan for reducing contaminants, maintaining water quality, promoting ecological restoration and sustainability, while allowing for greater transparency and accountability for improved performance. The WIP includes specific information on the actions that farmers, businesses, local governments, and water and sewer authorities need to employ to control nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment to achieve the required allocations. Pennsylvania's plan defines in great detail, how it will achieve the pollution reductions from all sources as outlined by its "pollution diet" – reductions from farms, wastewater treatment plants, industry, cities, new developments, and existing neighborhoods – with enforceable measures by 2025. Moreover, the milestones identified for achieving the WIP must be evaluated and reported to the EPA every two years. WWhhaatt tthhee WWIIPP rreeqquuiirreess ttoo bbee ddoonnee iinn LLaannccaasstteerr CCoouunnttyy –– AAGGRRIICCUULLTTUURREE The Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law requires that all farms in Lancaster County, regardless of size or ownership, must control the discharge of nutrients or sediments into streams. Sources of these discharges include all farm operations including those conducted on fields, in manure or silage storage areas, in barnyards, milk houses, and animal concentration areas. All farming operations that disturb more than 5,000 square feet of land are required to have an erosion and sedimentation control plan (E&S Plan) or a conservation plan. Farms that involves heavy animal use, such as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) or other animal breeding or feeding operations require application of best management practices (BMPs) on any field within 100 feet of a stream, reduction of soil erosion to the greatest extent possible while still maintaining sustainable crop productivity, and implementation of a schedule for improvement. Such farms are also required to have a nutrient management plan that covers the collection, storage and disposal or application of manure on fields. Limited financial assistance is available to farmers through the federal Environmental Quality Incentive Program or Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative. The EPA is stressing increased inspection of farms for compliance with E&S, conservation, and manure management plans. The EPA will be targeting farms within selected watersheds of the

County for inspection. These inspections will focus on compliance with requirements for riparian buffers and fencing, manure storage and application, cover crops, and phosphorus and nitrogen reduction efforts. Farmers that are not in compliance with relevant conservation and manure management plans may be severely fined. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) Farms with greater than 700 dairy cows (milking and dry) and concentrated animal operations with more than 300 cows are classified as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). There are 97 CAFOs in Lancaster County. CAFOs must obtain a NPDES permit or related Pennsylvania General Permit and have a current nutrient management plan that has been written by a certified plan writer and approved by the State Conservation Commission or local Conservation District. . Nutrient Management Plans are similar to manure management plans, but are more in-depth and must be reviewed as mentioned. CAOs are inspected yearly by the Conservation District to make sure conservation plans and nutrient management plans are being implemented. All CAFOs with greater than 1000 Animal Equivalent Units must also obtain a state Water Quality General Permit from DEP for new or expanded manure storage facilities. Non-CAFO Agriculture All farms with animals must develop a manure management plan. Farms with crops should have a conservation plan. All farms with animals that have significant (and some non significant) point source dischargers may have to obtain a NPDES permit or related Pennsylvania General Permit. Nutrient monitoring and reporting requirements will be incorporated into the NPDES permits. Recording Best Management Practices (BMPs) Up to this time, some farmers have been reluctant to report BMPs that have been installed. This is because of fears of misuse of the information by special interest anti-farm organizations, such as has happened in Maryland with the poultry industry. As a consequence most of the existing BMPs have not been reported, and, therefore, have not been taken into account in the previous runs of the Chesapeake Bay Community Phase 5.3 Watershed Model. 15.7 percent of the farmland within the county has been surveyed. Of this area 24,710 acres of small grain cover crop were identified in the survey. If extrapolated to the entire county, this would result in a total of about 157,389 acres (i.e., 24,710 / 0.157 = 157,389) which was not accounted for in the EPA watershed model. According to recent NASS data, there are 208,900 acres of row crops and 17,400 acres of small grains in the county. In 2009, there were also 3,798 acres reported for “No Till” land.

Subtracting the acres of “small grain” and “no till” from the acres of “row crops” suggests that 187,702 acres of tilled land are available for further use of cover crops. In this case, it appears that cover crops are presently being used on about 84 percent of the available land (i.e., 157389 / 187702 = 0.84).

• BMPs that need to be inventoried:

DEP is proposing expansion of state regulatory programs for erosion and sedimentation control on agricultural land with Required Output Measures (ROMs) by the Conservation District for the E&S program. DEP will be working with the State Conservation Commission and the county conservation districts to negotiate new ROMs for the E&S program and DEP plans to include agricultural compliance in these ROMs. Assistance with developing conservation plans, manure management and nutrient management plans is provided by the Conservation District. Conservation plans are a requirement for all farms that are protected with conservation easements. WWAASSTTEEWWAATTEERR TTRREEAATTMMEENNTT PPLLAANNTTSS There are presently 28 publicly owned wastewater treatment plants in Lancaster County with a total permitted treatment capacity of 84.5 Million Gallons per Day (mgd). It is projected that another 46,000 households will need to connect to sewer service within the next 20 years, with significant accompanying nitrogen and phosphorus loads. The County is currently evaluating existing capability (and expansion needs) to meet those projections considering the nutrient load caps established under the current TMDL, which by their nature reduce treatment plant capacity6

The point source discharge of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loads are capped by the TMDL. These regulatory caps will be enforced through individual or watershed-based federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Most wastewater treatment plants will be required to meet specific permitted loads for each of the significant pollutants. Permitted discharges are based on achieving 6 milligrams per liter (mg/l) TN at design flow. Annual load \limits for TP are based upon achieving a 0.8 mg/l discharge concentration at design flow, except for any facilities causing in-stream, near-field impacts from their TP discharges. These few dischargers will require a specific locally-driven refinement of the annual TP load limit and a concentration limit.5

Permitting for existing significant sewage discharges is being implemented by revoking and re-issuing permits using a phased approach, initially imposing TN and TP cap loads for significant sewage dischargers. Smaller dischargers (design annual average daily flow on August 29, 2005 less than 0.2 mgd and 6 Mike Kyle – LASA - Pressures and mandates on wastewater treatment plants in Lancaster County

greater than 0.002 mgd) will be given the choice to monitor levels of TN and TP in their discharge for two years when their permit is up for renewal or in a subsequent permit renewal. Sewage dischargers that have already accepted NPDES permit renewals based on achieving 8.0 mg/l TN and 1.0 mg/l TP at 2010 projected flows, voluntarily, will not be required to achieve lower cap loads based on the alternate approach.

Sewer Collection Systems Within the municipal boundaries of the City of Lancaster, two different types of sewer systems exist: Combined Sewer System and Separated Sewer System. These systems are responsible for collecting and conveying sewage and/or stormwater away from Lancaster City residences and businesses. A combined sewer system (CSS) is a wastewater collection system owned by a municipality which conveys sanitary wastewater (domestic, commercial, and industrial) stormwater and industrial wastewater through a single pipe system to a publicly-owned treatment works. This differs from sanitary sewer systems that carry only domestic and industrial wastewater. During dry-weather, combined sewer systems carry domestic sewage and industrial wastewater to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). During wet-weather events, flows within the sewer system become significantly greater and can exceed the capacity of the combined sewer system or WWTP. Combined sewer systems are designed to overflow this excess wastewater directly to the receiving water body. This overflow of excess wastewater is called a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO). Approximately 772 cities in the United States utilize combined sewer systems. These systems are found mostly in older urban areas that experienced rapid population and industrial growth.

Page 22: hourglassfoundation.orghourglassfoundation.org › pdf...the_Chesapeake_Bay.pdf · Lancastrians have perhaps not always fully appreciated the Susquehanna. It was, after all, a boundary

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 21

Combined sewer systems (CSS) were built to transport sewage, industrial wastewater, and stormwater directly to nearby receiving bodies creating sanitary living conditions. The system collects sewage and rainwater flowing from downspouts, streets, sidewalks, parking lots and over impervious surfaces into the city’s storm drains.

As time passed, pollution in waterways of the United States increased, so WWTPs were constructed to provide treatment prior to discharging to a waterway. During wet-weather events, excess wastewater that cannot be handled by the WWTP or combined sewer system is directly discharged to a waterway. Construction of new combined sewer

systems is no longer permitted. New sewer systems must be separate collection systems. In urban areas like the City, buildings and pavement cover most of the land surface. Instead of rainfall and snowmelt soaking into the ground, most stormwater runoff is collected in the combined sewer system by entering stormwater inlets (catch basins, sewer grates, etc.) or direct connections to the combined sewer system. 85% of the time, the City’s Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility is able to manage and clean the volume of water flowing through the combines system. However, during rainstorms and other wet weather events, the system becomes overwhelmed and untreated stormwater flows into rivers.

Location of the City’s CSO outfalls The City of Lancaster operates five CSO outfalls. These CSOs are permitted and regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under the City’s NPDES Discharge Permit. Hydraulic capacity limitations at the WWTP and pumping stations dictate the discharge of combined sewage to the Conestoga River during a wet-weather event. This map displays the CSO outfalls listed in NPDES Permit No. PA 0026743: Key: 02: Engleside 3A: Susquehanna 3B: Strawberry 04: Stevens Avenue 05: Clay Street

The CSS overflows about 1 billion gallons annually into the Conestoga River which then delivers 75-100% of the urban sector’s nitrogen and phosphorus to the Bay.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 22

The separated sewer system in the City of Lancaster consists of independent sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines. Sanitary sewer lines deliver domestic and industrial sewage directly to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. During rain events, the storm sewer lines collect stormwater and deliver it to the Conestoga River and/or little Conestoga Creek. Lancaster City’s combined sewer system serves not only city residents but 10 other municipalities. The system is large and it’s old. The City has developed a Green Infrastructure Plan providing a two-prong strategy for reducing the volume of stormwater entering the combined sewer system. Green infrastructure generally includes stormwater management methods that:

• Infiltrate (porous payments, sidewalks, and gutters, linear infiltration systems)

• Evaporate, transpire and reduce energy consumption (vegetated roofs, trees, planter boxes)

• Infiltrate and transpire (rain gardens and bio-retention)

• Capture and reuse rainfall (rain barrels, cisterns, irrigation supply systems, and gray water systems)

By implementing this plan, the needed investment in expensive, separate new gray infrastructure for water quality improvement can be significantly reduced and the City can realize additional environmental, social and economic benefits. However, the implementation of the plan will require leadership and cooperation by all parties to bring it to fruition. Sewage Sludge The disposal of sewage sludge and bio-solid materials is controversial as it relates to run-off in to the watershed. DEP has been urged to strengthen its regulations and enforcement of the land application of the sludge. Municipalities are not always aware of sewage sludge permits that have been issued for land within their borders and when the sludge is scheduled to be applied. Some townships have sought to regulate the land application of the sewage sludge in their communities, which raises issues of State preemption. Non-coal Mining Non-coal mining consists of quarrying for limestone, topsoil, sand and gravel, argillite, shale, slate and unclassified fill. Various mining permits are required for different types of mining operations. The type of mining permit needed is determined by the amount of production per year. There are three categories of production that are tracked (<2,000; <10,000; and unlimited). Most unlimited production permits have associated NPDES permits. NPDES permits associated with non-coal mining activities usually require application of Best Available Technology (BAT) to not exceed limits for sediment (total suspended solids [35mg/l]).

Green infrastructure encompasses a variety of technologies that replicate and restore the natural hydrologic cycle and reduces the volume of stormwater entering the sewer system.

Urban Best Management Practices (BMPs) • Urban BMPs that need to be inventoried:

o Dirt and Gravel Roads Protected o Stream Bank Protection o Street Cleaning o Municipal Sewage Connections o Wet ponds and wetlands o Infiltration with sand and vegetation o Filtering

• Urban/Suburban Stormwater

Pennsylvania’s Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) and Post Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) regulations (Chapter 102) requires erosion and sediment control BMPs on all earth disturbance activities. Revisions adopted on November 19, 2010 now require long-term operation and maintenance of post construction storm water management (PCSM) BMPs and include anti-degradation standards. The new rules also established significant set-back requirements for riparian buffer and riparian forest buffers in High Quality (HQ) and Exceptional Value (EV) watersheds. In an EV or HQ watershed a project must be set-back 150 feet of a perennial or intermittent river, stream, creek, lake, pond, or reservoir. Stormwater discharges are also regulated under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. There are two phases to this program: The NPDES Phase I program was established to manage stormwater pollution from certain industrial and construction sites and to urban areas with populations greater than 100,000 persons, which includes the Lancaster Metropolitan Area. In 1999, EPA adopted the NPDES Phase II program to address stormwater discharges from sites that were not covered under Phase I. State and municipal stormwater requirements are based upon these regulations. Phase II also incorporates additional provisions to address the specific needs and conditions of individual watersheds. Phase I NPDES permits are required for:

• Construction sites disturbing greater than five acres • Companies that fall in one of the eleven categories of

industrial sites • Large and medium municipalities (MS4’s) with

populations of 100,000 or greater

Phase II of NPDES permits are required for: • Construction sites disturbing one to five-acres

For permitting purposes, disturbance includes, but is not limited to soil disturbance, clearing, grading and excavation.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 24

• Municipalities in urbanized areas not covered by Phase I The Phase I National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge program requires all operators of large construction activities which will disturb five or more acres of land to obtain permit coverage. NPDES Phase II regulations add permit coverage for small construction activities that disturb one to less than five acres.

Effective December 7, 2002, DEP integrated the federal Phase II NPDES requirements into the existing Pennsylvania Phase I NPDES permit for stormwater discharges associated with construction activities (NPDES Construction Permit). An important distinction between Phase I and II is that the small construction activities only require permit coverage when the activity disturbs one to less than five acres and will result in a point source discharge to surface waters of the Commonwealth.

What this means is all construction projects that disturb 1 acre or more of land and result in a stormwater discharge must have either an individual stormwater permit, or coverage under one of Pennsylvania's general permits. Operators of sites disturbing less than one acre must also obtain a permit if their activity is part of a larger development with a planned disturbance of one acre or more. 8

Stormwater designs are no longer based on a “no increase in the rate of discharge” but will now have to meet a “no net change” standard (which includes both rate and volume.) Post construction runoff volume will not be permitted to exceed pre construction runoff volume for a 2-year/24-hour storm based on the assumption that: (i) Existing predevelopment non-forested pervious areas shall be considered meadow in good condition, and (ii) When the existing project site contains impervious area, 20 percent of the existing impervious area to be disturbed must be considered meadow in good condition or better. Reconstruction or restoration of roadways or rail lines, or construction, repair, reconstruction, or restoration of utility infrastructure is exempt from these requirements.

• MS4 Program Municipalities meeting certain criteria must participate in the Municipal Storm Sewer System (MS4.) This includes any municipality has a stormwater “conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains) that discharge into waters of the United States or that are designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater.

In practical terms, operators of MS4s can include municipalities and local sewer districts, state and federal departments of transportation, public universities, public hospitals, airports and correctional facilities.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 25

For regulatory purposes, EPA’s NPDES Stormwater Program regulates “medium,” “large,” and regulated small MS4s. Each new (first-term) MS4 permittee is required to submit an annual report each year to DEP. Each MS4 permittee that is renewing coverage in subsequent years must submit periodic progress reports. Municipalities may not issue a building or other permit or final approval to anyone proposing to conduct earth disturbance activities until the required NPDES Construction permit (or approved coverage under a related Pennsylvania General Permit) has been issued by DEP or by a delegated conservation district.

Each MS4 municipality must develop a TMDL implementation plan. MS4 TMDL plans will require, at a minimum, implementation of BMPs related to redevelopment, riparian buffers, and enactment of a stormwater management ordinance. Additional requirements include, but are not limited to, retrofits, updated local ordinances, riparian buffers, sustainable BMPs, and opportunity for trading/offsetting.

MS4 Municipalities in Lancaster County are listed in Appendix F- Organizational Directory – Pages 6 thru 9. See Appendix C for Lancaster, PA Urbanized Area Storm Water Entities as defined by the 2000 Census.7

• Urban Nutrient Management Urban Nutrient Management involves the reduction of fertilizer to grass lawns and other urban areas. Measures could include municipal ordinances limiting the application of phosphorus-containing fertilizer to lawns, golf courses, and other mowed turf, allowing the use of fertilizer containing phosphorus only to establish grass during the first growing season, or when reseeding is needed, prohibiting application of fertilizer, manure, or a sewage sludge product to an impervious surface, and restricting the retail sale of turf fertilizer containing phosphorus.

• Urban and Rural Reforestation

Funding for forestland conservation has historically come primarily from state Growing Greener funds, Key ‘93 funds, and the Oil and Gas fund. Unfortunately, these sources are in jeopardy. Despite the potential lack of funding, the Commonwealth has agreed to conserve an additional 100,000 acres of forested land within priority Bay watersheds by 2025 and to work with ten Bay communities to assess existing urban tree canopy cover and to assist communities in setting and attaining new canopy goals. This conservation goal translates into approximately 8,000 additional forested acres a year. Last year state figures for forestland protection within the Bay totaled 4,141 acres, only half the investment needed to meet the 8,000-acre-per-year conservation goal.

• Legacy Sediment A significant portion of sediment in streams in Lancaster County is the result of erosion of sediment trapped behind mill dams constructed in the 1700s and 1800s. Previously it was

thought that the large majority of sediment in streams was the result of upland erosion. Stream corridor erosion from breached millpond reservoirs—is a substantial source of suspended (i.e., fine grained) sediments and nutrients within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Furthermore, the processes and rates of stream bank erosion documented are not directly related to modern land use activity (e.g., storm water runoff from urban development or agriculture), but rather to a series of land use activities that began as much as several centuries ago. These activities transformed valley bottom landscapes, first through reservoir sediment accumulation following milldam construction, then by stream bed incision and bank erosion following milldam breaching. Further studies are underway to establish a BMP that would be applied to Legacy Sediments. Currently, no funding is available from the State or Federal governments to remove legacy sediments and to restore the waterways to their original configurations.

• Nutrient Trading

In addition to regulatory standards for discharge of pollutants into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Pennsylvania WIP also provides for Nutrient Trading.

On October 9, 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) published its nutrient trading regulation, 25 Pa. Code § 96.8, entitled, “Use of offsets and tradable credits from pollution reduction activities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.” The

Since breaching in 1901, it has lost 46 percent of its stored sediment, but its steep banks still hold about 171,659 tons.

regulation codifies, with some revisions, the Departments’ former guidance entitled “Final Trading of Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Credits – Policy and Guidelines” (No. 392-0900-001.)8

What is Nutrient Trading?

• Nutrient trading is an approach to improve water quality by using market mechanisms to produce pollutant reductions at lower costs.

• It is a voluntary program that enables point or nonpoint sources that exceed their environmental obligations to generate credits that may be traded to others who are seeking nutrient credits.

• Market mechanisms can provide for an efficient and effective means of solving environmental challenges.

• PADEP recognizes the many benefits of trading, including income to farmers and others who generate credits and flexibility for the regulated community in meeting legal requirements, especially when done on a watershed basis.

General Trading Principles:

• A trade must involve comparable credits (for example, nitrogen may only be traded for nitrogen) that are expressed as mass per unit time (pounds per year);

• Credits generated by trading cannot be used to comply with existing technology-based effluent limits except as expressly authorized by federal regulations;

• Trading may only occur in a PADEP defined watershed;

• Trading may take place between any combinations of eligible point sources, non-point sources and third parties; and,

• Each trading entity must meet applicable eligibility criteria established under PADEP’s nutrient trading regulations, 25 Pa. Code § 96.8, for this voluntary program.

TTHHEE CCOOMMMMOONNWWEEAALLTTHH OOFF PPEENNNNSSYYLLVVAANNIIAA—— RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittyy ffoorr CClleeaann--UUpp In 1978, the state enacted Pennsylvania’s Stormwater Management Act (Act 167). The Act requires counties to prepare and adopt watershed based stormwater management plans—and requires municipalities to adopt and implement ordinances to regulate development consistent with these plans. Past Boards of Lancaster County Commissioners agreed to prepare Act 167 Stormwater Management Plans only when funding was supplied by DEP. The Commissioners assigned responsibility for preparation of plans for several of the watersheds in Lancaster County9

(the Cocalico Creek, the Conestoga River, the Little Conestoga Creek, and Mill Creek) to the former County Engineer’s Office, not the Planning Commission. With the reorganization of the County and elimination of the County Engineer’s Office the stormwater planning function of the County was transferred to the County Planning Commission. In 2008 the General Assembly eliminated all funding for Act 167 planning. With the elimination of funding further preparation of Act 167 plans ceased as the Commissioners regarded stormwater planning as an unfunded mandate.

Likewise, Municipalities are generally unwilling to spend municipal funds to develop and enact stormwater management ordinances absent funding from the County or the State. Under the requirements of the MS4 Program, however, 45 municipalities are mandated to adopt stormwater management ordinances to be covered under an NPDES permit or a related Pennsylvania General Permit. Municipalities can enact a model stormwater management ordinance promulgated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, which is scheduled for final refinement and adoption by DEP prior to November 9, 2011. Any modification of the State’s model ordinance, however, will make the municipality ineligible for coverage under a Pennsylvania General Permit. In order to allow for ordinance standards that are more directly tailored to conditions in Lancaster County, the County Planning Commission is currently developing a Lancaster County Model Stormwater Management Ordinance to fully meet the requirements of DEP without overly burdening MS4 municipalities. It is the intent of the County to have the Lancaster County Model Stormwater Management Ordinance preapproved by DEP to qualify municipalities for a General Permit.

Although exempted from mandatory by the State in the WIP, highways and roadways owned by the state constitute a major source of impervious surface in Lancaster County. Most roadways, outside the City and some boroughs, lack any stormwater management facilities. Stormwater is often channeled off the roadway surface into drainage ditches which lead directly to streams. Reduction of discharges from paved road surfaces could be a significant means of the Commonwealth improving water quality. The cost of retrofitting highways by PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission will be an objection in this period of budget cutting. The costs of pollution reduction by other sources, however, are likely to be just as high. For instance, current estimates show that the nitrogen loading from treatment plants constitute only about 12% of the nitrogen load to the Bay. A study completed by the Commonwealth estimated costs of $1.4 Billion to upgrade the wastewater plants in Pennsylvania that discharge into the Bay’s tributaries to a level of treatment called “Biological Nutrient Removal,” which will be necessary to meet the current nutrient cap loads. Upgrading wastewater treatment plants would reduce the nitrogen loading from point sources by about 1/3. If further reductions were required as a result of EPA enforcing potential “backstops”, treatment plant upgrade costs could be another $1.4 Billion dollars, but this time with marginal reductions in nitrogen loading.5 These costs are on top of the significant capital and operating investments that are necessary to repair and renovate the state’s aging and decaying sewer infrastructure. The real challenge facing all wastewater utilities in the years to come is aging infrastructure, and the need to renovate and replace systems as they deteriorate. Statewide there is projected need for $25 Billion in capital upgrade costs for sewage systems over the next 20 years, quite apart from reducing pollutant loadings into the Chesapeake Bay waterways. More importantly, it is projected that the costs of operating and maintaining sewage systems across the state will be $75 Billion, which unfortunately will exceed revenues generated through sewer fees by $28 Billion over the same period.5 The lack of available funding from the federal or state governments for stormwater planning, retrofitting of highways with stormwater controls, and wastewater treatment plant upgrades is a major impediment facing Lancaster County.

CCRROOSSSSRROOAADDSS FFOORR BBAAYY CCLLEEAANNUUPP AA CCaallll ttoo AAccttiioonn The Susquehanna River is the largest source of water, and therefore pollution, into the Chesapeake Bay. The Susquehanna River forms the entire western boundary for Lancaster County, and nearly all its streams and creeks drain into the Susquehanna and eventually the Bay. Lancaster County has been identified as a priority region in the effort for pollution reduction. If Lancaster County can achieve significant reductions in its discharges of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment, the levels of Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay pollution will also be significantly reduced. In many respects, Lancaster County is uniquely qualified to serve as a role model for others. We have a history of cooperation and innovation in many areas of land use and planning. We have an exceptional agricultural community supported by the overwhelming majority of citizens. We have an abundance of non-profit organizations whose missions are consistent with advancing the environment, economy and quality of life of the region. Our local governments and authorities are often statewide models of efficiency and innovation. We have a strong local economy filled with homegrown businesses that understand the importance of protecting our environment and economy at the same time. We have strong community leaders in all the above organizations that have the ability and the will to do what is needed. And finally, we have a citizen base who highly values the quality of life in Lancaster County and who have taken an active role in addressing previous countywide issues. Although Lancaster County no doubt has the capacity to make a difference, there are nonetheless hurdles we will have to overcome if we are to be successful in our Bay clean-up initiatives. We have a big task, one that can and should involve everyone. With so many organizations and talented individuals, the Three Cs – coordination, cooperation, and communication – are paramount. With so many interested organizations, overlapping missions, diffused leadership, and turf disputes are a real danger. Some agencies may have to conclude that another is more capable of taking the lead role in a particular task. No one can retreat into silos that disregard the actions of others – the left hand must know what the right hand is doing at all times. In the preceding pages and following appendices of this report, the Hourglass has articulated what has to be done and identified those institutions and entities that have to do it. It is the opinion of the Hourglass, however, that a strong and legitimate authority has to take the lead in coordinating what will constitute an unprecedented clean-up effort. If in partnership with all the agencies, jurisdictions, authorities, organizations, and business entities that have responsibilities for individual components of this clean-up program, a single coordinating body is not forthcoming, it is likely that the County will fail to achieve the mandated pollution reductions. The consequences of such failure will be significant --both environmental and economic.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 32

The required effort is simply so big, the numbers of individuals and organizations that will play a key role so many, that someone must serve as the coordinating authority. While several agencies and organizations have initiated efforts to convene partners for a strategic Bay clean-up effort, other agencies and organizations have refrained from embracing a single clearinghouse. The likelihood is that a lack of legitimate authority in voluntary associations or agencies and jurisdictional rivalries will frustrate the best of intentions. At least three, possibly more, independent approaches to agency coordination have arisen in the first three months of 2011. Hourglass believes that the Board of County Commissioners is the only body with: (1) the legitimate authority, vested by the voters of Lancaster County, (2) the control of critical funding, and (3) a comprehensive responsibility for the public welfare to serve in this critical capacity. Only the Board of County Commissioners is in the position to assign responsibility for the creation and execution of a coordinated strategy embracing agricultural, business, and community interests. Through one lead entity, working with county agencies, commissions and authorities, and in partnership with municipalities, businesses, and non-profit organizations, the County Commissioners can provide the needed leadership and coordination. Without it, disparate efforts will be splintered, time and money will be wasted, and our goals will not be realized.

Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Executive Order 13508—Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration May 12, 2009 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America and in furtherance of the purposes of the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and other laws, and to protect and restore the health, heritage, natural resources, and social and economic value of the Nation's largest estuarine ecosystem and the natural sustainability of its watershed, it is hereby ordered as follows: PART 1—PREAMBLE The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure constituting the largest estuary in the United States and one of the largest and most biologically productive estuaries in the world. The Federal Government has nationally significant assets in the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed in the form of public lands, facilities, military installations, parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, and museums. Despite significant efforts by Federal, State, and local governments and other interested parties, water pollution in the Chesapeake Bay prevents the attainment of existing State water quality standards and the "fishable and swimmable" goals of the Clean Water Act. At the current level and scope of pollution control within the Chesapeake Bay's watershed, restoration of the Chesapeake Bay is not expected for many years. The pollutants that are largely responsible for pollution of the Chesapeake Bay are nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus, and sediment. These pollutants come from many sources, including sewage treatment plants, city streets, development sites, agricultural operations, and deposition from the air onto the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the lands of the watershed. Restoration of the health of the Chesapeake Bay will require a renewed commitment to controlling pollution from all sources as well as protecting and restoring habitat and living resources, conserving lands, and improving management of natural resources, all of which

contribute to improved water quality and ecosystem health. The Federal Government should lead this effort. Executive departments and agencies (agencies), working in collaboration, can use their expertise and resources to contribute significantly to improving the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay also will depend on the support of State and local governments, the enterprise of the private sector, and the stewardship provided to the Chesapeake Bay by all the people who make this region their home. PART 2—SHARED FEDERAL LEADERSHIP, PLANNING, AND ACCOUNTABILITY Sec. 201. Federal Leadership Committee In order to begin a new era of shared Federal leadership with respect to the protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay, a Federal Leadership Committee (Committee) for the Chesapeake Bay is established to oversee the development and coordination of programs and activities, including data management and reporting, of agencies participating in protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. The Committee shall manage the development of strategies and program plans for the watershed and ecosystem of the Chesapeake Bay and oversee their implementation. The Committee shall be chaired by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or the Administrator's designee, and include senior representatives of the Departments of Agriculture (USDA), Commerce (DOC), Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), the Interior (DOI), Transportation (DOT), and such other agencies as determined by the Committee. Representatives serving on the Committee shall be officers of the United States.

The leading threat to the health of the Chesapeake Bay is excess nitrogen and phosphorous pollution that destroys habitat and causes fish kills. Top sources of these pollutants include agriculture, sewage treatment plants, runoff from urban and suburban areas, and air pollution from automobiles, factories, and power plants. Other threats to the Bay’s health include sprawl, toxic pollution, and poor fishery management. So, in the big picture we are all responsible for the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Whatever we do in our little portion of the Bay watershed will affect the overall water quality of our natural treasure.

Remember, WE ALL LIVE DOWNSTREAM, so what we do “up” here will affect our neighbors downstream.10

As stormwater flows over driveways, lawns, and sidewalks, it picks up debris, chemicals, dirt and other pollutants. Stormwater can flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, stream, river, wetland, or coastal water. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the water bodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. Polluted runoff is the nation’s greatest threat to clean water.

By practicing healthy household habits, homeowners can keep common pollutants like pesticides, pet waste, grass clipping, and automotive fluids off the ground and out of stormwater. Adopt healthy household habits and help protect lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands, and coastal waters.11

Healthy Household Habits for Clean Water

Vehicles and Garages

• Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on a lawn or other unpaved surface to minimize the amount of dirty, soapy water flowing into the storm drain and eventually into your local water body.

• Check your car, boat, motorcycle, and other machinery and equipment for leaks and spills. Clean up spilled fluids with an absorbent material. Don’t rinse the spills into a nearby storm drain. Properly dispose of the absorbent material.

• Recycle used oil and other automotive fluids at participating service stations. Don’t dump these chemicals down the storm drain or dispose of them in your trash.

Lawns and Garden

• Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. When use is necessary, use these chemical in the recommended amounts. Avoid application if the forecast calls for rain; otherwise, chemicals will be washed into your local stream.

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 43

• Select native plants and grasses that are drought and pest-resistant. Native plants require less water, fertilizer and pesticides.

• Sweep up yard debris, rather than hosing down areas. Compost or recycle yard waste when possible.

• Don’t overwater your lawn. Water during the cool times of the day, and don’t let water runoff into the storm drain. 12

Home Repair and Improvement

• Before beginning an outdoor project, locate the nearest storm drains and protect them from debris and other materials.

• Sweep up and properly dispose of construction debris such as concrete and mortar.

• Use hazardous substances like paints, solvents and cleaners in the smallest amounts possible, and follow the directions on the label. Clean up spills immediately, and dispose of the waste safely. Store substances properly to avoid leaks and spills.

• Purchase and use nontoxic, biodegradable, recycled and recyclable products whenever possible.

• Clean paint brushes in a sink, not outdoors. Filter and reuse paint thinner when using oil-based paints. Properly dispose of excess pains through a household hazardous waste collection program, or donate unused paint to local organizations.

• Reduce the amount of paved area and increase the amount of vegetated area in your yard. Consider directing downspouts away from paved surfaces onto lawns and other measures to increase infiltration and reduce polluted runoff. Consider installing a rain barrel.9

Pet Care When walking your pet, remember to pick up the waste and dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste is the best disposal method. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into the storm drain and eventually into water bodies.10

Swimming Pool and Spa

• Drain your swimming pool only when a test kit does not detect chlorine levels.

• Whenever possible, drain your pool or spa into the sanitary sewer system.

• Properly store pool and spa chemicals to prevent leaks and spills, preferably in a covered area to avoid exposure to stormwater.10

Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay – The Challenge for Lancaster County Page 44

Septic System Use and Maintenance

• Have your septic system inspected by a professional at least every 3 years, and have the septic tank pumped as necessary (usually every 3 to 5 years).

• Care for the septic system drain field by not driving or parking vehicles on it. Plant only grass over and near the drain field to avoid damage from roots.

• Flush responsibly. Flushing household chemicals like paint, pesticides, oil, and antifreeze can destroy the biological treatment taking place in the system. Other items, such as diapers, paper towels, and cat litter, can clog the septic system and potentially damage components.10

Storm water pollution can be prevented –

• Replace driveways and sidewalks with porous pavement materials.

• Replace high maintenance grass lawns with native vegetation, mulch for rain gardens.

• Use fertilizers sparingly.

• Sweep driveways, sidewalks and roads instead of using a hose.

• Start a compost pile to dispose of yard waste.

• Use, store and dispose of chemicals properly.

• Recycle motor oil and anti-freeze. Don’t dispose by dumping it into the storm drain.

• Use commercial car washing facilities that do not generate runoff.

• Households/businesses with septic systems should have them professionally inspected and pumped every 3 to 5 years.

• Practice water conservation.

• Recycle litter and dispose of trash properly to keep it out of waterways.

• Control soil erosion by planting ground cover.

• Learn to recognize what types of discharges to the storm drain system are not allowed and report any signs of illicit dumping.

Pollutants – • Sediment

• Oil, grease, and toxic

chemicals from vehicles

• Pesticides and nutrients from lawns, gardens and golf courses

• Viruses, bacteria, and nutrients from pet waste and failing septic systems

• Road salts

• Heavy metals from roof shingles, motor vehicles, and other sources

• Thermal pollution from dark impervious surfaces such as streets and rooftops

The Hourglass Foundation, founded in 1997, is a non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on making Lancaster County an even better place to live. The Hourglass works to raise awareness, facilitate discussion, provide information and create the conditions that will allow residents to understand and participate in decisions that impact the quality of their lives. We believe that strategic growth management is critical to controlling our destiny and protecting Lancaster County’s unique character and special quality of life. The Hourglass works with individuals, groups, organizations and government officials to enable informed decision making on issues affecting the future of Lancaster County.
