DEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Measures & Program Activity

DEP Combined Federal and State Measures

DEP

PA-LWV (SWP Promotion): WREN (Local Educational Grants): PRWA (SWP Info Clearinghouse): EPA (EPA Source Water Resources): USGS (WHPA Delineation Strategy/Case Studies): Partners & Resources

DEP

Expansion of RAIN Development of watershed Based SWPP

DEP

Increasing nitrate concentration One water system has ceased using the intake on the creek Chester Water Authority using secondary source ½ the year Source of nitrate is from ground water base flow % EXCEEDANCE OF ROUTINE SAMPLES

DEP

10/ Elevated total dissolved solids (TDS) > than SDWA standard (500 mg/l) Potential sources of TDS in watershed include abandoned & active surface and deep coal mines, waste water and industrial discharges (receiving HF flow-back) PA DEP reduced HF % flow at wastewater treatment plants River under historic low flow conditions TDS concentrations returned to normal in December 2008 after recovery of river flow
