3. Martins Jacoby

Amount Requested: $78,375

The Martins-Jacoby Watershed Association, a nonprofit 501 c (3) organization, is currently preparing a package of projects in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and in Warren County, New Jersey, that will have a positive impact on the Lower Delaware River and a number of its tributaries in that area. The enclosed proposal provides details about nine projects planned for 2010, with a total cost of $191,750. The Martins-Jacoby Watershed Association is seeking a block grant from Wild and Scenic River appropriations in the amount of $78,375, which would cover approximately 41 percent of this cost. Local municipalities, other government agencies, and private partners such as PPL Energy are expected to provide the balance of funding needed to complete these projects.

4. Bridgeton Nockamixon Tinicum Groundwater Committee

Amount Requested: $25,000

Purpose

To monitor in real time the conditions of the Rapp Creek (EV Watershed), enabling the downstream townships to alert the appropriate authorities of a pollution event, thus allowing the authorities to take immediate remedial and enforcement action. Besides the residents, there are two potential polluters on the creek, Hanson Quarry and Arbor Resources LLC (a gas drilling company). The project will develop a data history of the condition of this Exceptional Value stream in order to define alarm criteria to minimize any false alarms, yet be sensitive enough to sense an emergency event with a high degree of certainty

6. Heritage Conservancy with the Northampton County Conservation District

Amount Requested: $21.726

Non-point source (NPS) pollution is the number one issue affecting water quality in the United States (U.S. EPA) and is a major issue affecting Pennsylvania’s urban and suburban watersheds. This water quality challenge is directly related to the ways in which land is developed and used. In Pennsylvania, land use decisions are arrived at locally through municipal planning and ordinances. Often times, municipal officials lack the resources to effectively evaluate the cumulative impacts of their land-use decisions on the water quality in their municipality and local watersheds
