Pollution control project funded in Pike County

Posted

PIKE COUNTY, PA — Pike County Conservation District (PCCD) received $1,000 to develop an educational brochure that will include a step-by-step guide to help homeowners better understand the process of completing the most common General Permits: GP #2 for Small Docks and GP #3 for Streambank Stabilization.

“This grant funding will allow the conservation district staff to reduce pollution in our communities. Working together, we can all do our part to ensure there is enough clean water for future generations,” said PCCD Executive Director Michele Long.

Education and outreach about the project is expected to begin this fall. The district expects to have the project work begin no later than October 2018.

Twenty-six projects will be funded in 26 of the state’s counties. Projects include agricultural field days, forestry workshops, rain barrel workshops, safe medication disposal and more. For a complete listing of awarded projects, visit https://goo.gl/WBqRkx.

Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. (PACD) through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
