Geology Underlying rock formations established the soil typology and hydrology of the region. Diabase: hard rock, resistant to weathering, hilly and wooded. Brunswick Formation: mudstone, shale, rolling hills

Soils Soils can be characterized by their ability to support agriculture and capacity for infiltration NHT soils require proper management for agriculture to maintain productivity Generally, soil types limit infiltration which contributes to stormwater runoff and flooding conditions

Watersheds NHT belongs to three watershed areas, with the majority of the township located in the Swamp Creek Watershed. Each watershed is managed by an Act 167 management plan that provide recommended best management practices based on watershed characteristics.

Drainage Basins Smaller drainage basins make up larger watersheds.

Floodplain and Wetlands Areas within the floodplain are primarily found along the Swamp Creek. Most residential areas are outside of the floodplain. Properties within the floodplain qualify for federal flood insurance.

Steep Slopes Major ridgelines are primarily found in the Deep Creek and Sanatoga Creek drainage basins (belonging to the diabase formation) These areas are least suitable for development.

Woodlands Wooded areas are concentrated where steep slopes are located which provides erosion control. Larger, less fragmented woodland patches provide better wildlife habitat and contribute to stream health.

Canopy Cover Taller tree canopies are found in the larger woodland patches, while shorter trees are primarily found in areas with recent development, and in agricultural areas.

Agricultural Areas Many properties under active agricultural uses are not preserved under the County’s farmland preservation program. A portion of the central ag lands at 73/663 zoned for industrial and within the quarry site.

Ordinance Language Existing language in the Zoning and Subdivision and Land Development Ordinances contain many provisions already for the preservation and protection of sensitive areas. Opportunities for ordinance language improvements: Landscaping ordinance to promote appropriate landscaping standards within residential and nonresidential developments Species planting list to advocate for native plants Tree replacement

Sites of Statewide Significance Two of the sites are already protected as township parks: Deep Creek Park Swamp Creek Park Ongoing efforts to protect Laughing Waters through easements Henning Road Woods not under protection

Historic Sites Long Meadow Farm is under consideration for farmland preservation Elliot Farm is considered private open space belonging to the Bella Vista Golf Course Lutheran Church has a historical marker Swamp Creek buildings are protected within the township park

Values Identification Currently, there are many natural features that are in good health (large tree stands, unimpaired streams, etc.). The township should work to ensure these features remain in good standing through proper management. What are some key areas for preservation that are not currently protected under existing policy structures or ownership? What acquisition targets identified in the Open Space Plan are the most important to pursue? What outreach has been/can be conducted to provide education to private property owners? What ordinance amendments have been or should be considered?

Values Identification Historic sites, vistas, and natural areas are important to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the township. How important is it to preserve older and historic structures? What kind of adaptive reuse may you want to consider for properties? How do you envision engaging new members of the community with the township’s historic past?
