“Jackson and river drive floodplain restoration project - design & permitting. Dep growing greener contract #c990003004 project description: this project is located on the little conestoga creek and brubaker run and will address unmanaged residential stormwater runoff, nonpoint source pollution loadings coming from stream degradation. The proposed restoration project will occur on approximately 1700 linear feet of stream on the little conestoga creek and 420 linear feet of brubaker run. Once implemented, the project would result in a stabilized system with a functioning floodplain bench that would provide water quality benefits. The funding from this growing greener grant was used for the design and permitting phase of the project. Project goals: the goals of this project were to successfully design and permit the proposed floodplain restoration project that, once constructed, will result in a stabilized system with a functioning floodplain bench that would provide water quality benefits, reduced erosion, and significant ecological uplift. Project results: the little conestoga watershed alliance (lcwa) hired landstudies, inc. (lsi) as the qualified engineering firm to design and permit this project as planned. The result of this work makes the project shovel ready for implementation. The proposed floodplain restoration design includes approximately 1700 linear feet along the little conestoga creek and 420 linear feet along brubaker run that will restore 2.6 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands. Based on the chesapeake bay expert panel load reduction protocols, approximately 2,874,167 lb/yr of sediment, 542 lb/yr of phosphorus, and 3,007 lb/yr of nitrogen will be removed from the watershed along the little conestoga creek, and approximately 128,618 lb/yr of sediment, 35 lb/yr of phosphorus, and 235 lb/yr nitrogen removed from the watershed along brubaker run. Project costs: dep gg grant award $113,000; match amount $15,000 (east hempfield twp paid directly to landstudies, inc); total project cost: $128,000 partners: little conestoga watershed alliance; east hempfield township; landowners; landstudies inc. Approximately 13 residential properties and 1 public park owned by east hempfield township will benefit from this work.”

“Indian run floodplain restoration project design & permitting, dep growing greener grant project description: this project is located on indian run and will adress existing problematic bank erosion, encouraging nitrogen processing through improved hyporheic connectivity, and providing a vast, well-connected floodplain that allows incoming pollutants to be deposited and processed on the restoration site. The restoration includes addressing 860 linear feet of existing impaired channel through legacy sediment removal. In addition to the benefits to existing resources, the restoration is also anticipated to result in 0.65 acres of wetland creation. Project goals: the goals of this project were to successfully design and permit the proposed floodplain restoration project that, once constructed, will result in a stabilized system with a functioning floodplain bench that would provide water qualify benefits, reduced erosion, and significant ecological uplift. Project results: the little conestoga watershed alliance (lcwa) hired landstudies, inc. (lsi) as the qualified engineering firm to design and permit this project as planned. The result of this work makes the project shovel ready for implementation. The proposed floodplain restoration design includes approximately 860 linear feet along indian run that will result in a stabilized system with a functioning floodplain bench that would provide water quality benefits, reduced erosion, and significant ecological uplift. This project will address water quality concerns in the chesapeake bay watershed by providing approximately 320,683 lb/yr of sediment reduction per year, 410 lb/yr of nitrogen reduction, and 158 lb/yr of phosphorus reductions through legacy sediment removal. The proposed restoration will reconnect teh channel to the floodplain reducing streambank erosion and the delivery of sediment and/or nutrients to downstream waters. This will create additional wildlife habitat for aquatic macro-invertebrates, fish, and birds. Project costs: dep gg grant award: $72,000; match amount: $13,500 (private land owners paid directly to landstudies, inc); total project cost: $85,500. Partners: little conestoga watershed alliance; landowners; landstudies, inc. Three residential properties will benefit from this work.”
