    Water and Our Changing Landscape: Perspectivesfrom the Wild & Scenic Whi e Clay Creek Watershed,a new Delaware Water Resources Center (DWRC)co-sponsored conference, was held at the Universityof Delaware (UD), Newark, Delaware Thursday April

    14, 2005 for nearly 200 participants. Other eventsponsors included the White Clay Watershed Association, Chester County (PA) ConservationDistrict, the Delaware Department of NaturalResources and Environmental Control (DNREC), theDelaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT),Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Inc., UnitedWater Delaware and Water Bethel, and the UDInstitute of Public Adminsitration Water ResourcesAgency (WRA), with contributions by Artesian WaterCompany, Chester Water Authority, the City ofNewark, Delaware Nature Society, Kennett, LondonGrove and Penn Townships, New Castle County

    Conservation District, and the Stroud Water ResearchCenter.

    The White Clay Creek and its tributaries drain a69,000-acre watershed in southwestern ChesterCounty, PA and northwestern New Castle County, DEthat is home to nearly 100,000 people. Itsdesignation in October 2000 as part of the NationalWild and Scenic Rivers System was the first in whichan entire watershed, not just a section of river,received federal protection due to the variety of

    influences outside its river corridor affecting habitatand water quality. Renowned for its scenery and itsbiologic, geologic, and historic resources, the WhiteClay Creek is Delawares premier trout stream,stocked annually by both states. UnderlyingCockeysville marble formations create an exceptionalaquifer which, with the creek, provides importantground and surface water sources for drinking water.Overall, the White Clay Creek watershed is one ofonly a few relatively intact, unspoiled and ecologicallyfunctioning river systems remaining in the highlycongested and developed corridor betweenPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania and Newark, Delaware.

    Agenda topics included historical, scientific, andgovernance perspectives presented byrepresentatives from the National Park Service, WhiteClay Creek Watershed Management Committee,watershed water purveyors, and consultants from

    nonprofits, private engineering firms, andgovernment. Pete Saenger, a Newark riparianlandowner attending a water conference for the firsttime, found the conference very beneficial. Iespecially appreciated the many opportunitiesthroughout the day to meet one-on-one with waterfield experts to communicate my concerns.

    Conference Highlights

    Edward O'Donnell of theWhite Clay Creek WatershedManagement Committee filledin for Chuck Barscz of theNational Park Service. Heinvited conference participantsto build on the unique synergyof local, state, regional, andnational entities committing resources to protect andrestore this watershed, and encouraged support forthe White Clay Creek and Its Tributaries WatershedManagement Plan.

    White Clay Conferenceattendees

    Linda Stapleford, conference coordinator and RiverAdministrator for the White Clay Wild and ScenicProgram, described watershed flora and fauna andhistoric resources. She reported on the White ClayCreek Management Associations efforts in openspace preservation, school outreach, trailsimprovements, and recreation programs. JudySchuler of the White Clay Watershed Associationrecognized state officials and local environmentalactivists for their support of the White Clay Creek.

    Cindy Greene seeks a solution to establish youth farm and

    nature programs for the Kranz Farm in the watershed

    Stapleford introduced Cynthia Kranz Greene, whois seeking a viable solution that will allow her Kranzfamily farm to protect the watersheds resourcesthrough preservation for youth programs. Greenedescribed the impact of farming in shaping her lifeand fostering a respect for the land. She emphasized

    the need for urban / suburban children to experiencea connection to the land that instills values valuableto our society. The farms outstanding native plantspecies also need continued protection. To expresssupport or ideas to preserve the Kranz farm, contact:Greene at 302-737-0314 ([email protected]); CindyTodd 302-739-3423 (mention the Master FacilitiesPlan for the White Clay Creek State Park); SenatorLiane Sorenson 302-234-3303 or 302-744-4136; orRepresentative Terry Schooley 302-454-1176.

    Bernard Sweeney, director of the Stroud WaterResearch Center, Avondale, PA, described the

    enduring effects of human activity in the watershed.Sweeney believes persistent encouragement ofindividuals to make more watershed-friendly choiceswill help restore stream health and habitats for onceabundant species such as brook trout and freshwatermussels along the White Clay Creek.

    Lunch roundtable discussion topics included:agricultural issues, education, flooding, watershed-healthy gardening, the London Tract Historic District,municipal ordinances, recreation, stream and riparianrestoration, water quality, water supply and aquifercapacity, and watershed land preservation.

    Rick Darkes well received keynote presentationThe Livable Landscape defies description in aprint publication. Images in his beautifulphotographic montage evoked the grandeur anddetail, the spirit and art that is the deciduous forestof the White Clay watershed. Visitors to his web sitewww.rickdarke.com may hear a recent NPR interviewor view his upcoming lecture schedule for morebackground on his landscape perspective. Anothersource is his book, The American Woodland Garden.

    The afternoon Stormwater Management Panelmoderated byAndy Urquhart , co-chair of the WhiteClay Creek Watershed Management Committee,featured six speakers. Frank Piorko of DNRECsDivision of Soil and Water Conservation,Stormwater Util it ies described the stormwaterutility approach recommended by a statewide taskforce to address stormwater drainage andmanagement issues. Recharge and FacilityDesignwas discussed by Jeffrey Bross ofDuffieldAssociates. Bross told of the progress made bycounty governments toward regulating stormwaterand encouraging the use of recharge bestmanagement practices. Wesley Horner, PrincipalPlanner of Cahill Associates Pennsylvania,discussedPennsylvania's Initiative: New StormwaterManual. This book, available on the PennsylvaniaDepartment of the Environments site athttp://www.dep.state.pa.us/, contains ten chapterson stormwater technical best management practices.Daniel J. Greig of the Chester County Conservation

    District (CCCD) talked about Chester CountyInitiatives in nutrient management, erosion control,education and certification for watershed-friendlyagriculture, liaison between municipalities andagriculture, and programs assisting mushroom farmsin developing management plans to implement bestmanagement practices (BMPs). Greig also noted thatthe P.L. 83-566 Watershed Protection and FloodPrevention Act to fund flood control and water qualityimprovement projects throughout the nation maylose its place in the federal budget; participants wereencouraged to ask their Congressmen and Senatorsto support this bill. Charlotte Sprenkle ofCCCD

    reported BMP projects undertaken by eightmushroom farmers in the Trout Run Watershed, asubwatershed of the White Clay Creek. CCCD andthe city of Avondale cooperated to construct a uniquemushroom-shaped wetland for watershed restoration.

    Before the closing Q & Asession, Delaware NatureSocietys John Harrodannounced that BackyardHabitats or SMARTyardsare now being piloted in the Appoquinimink watershed andPike Creek area, inspired bythe successful initial launch inthe Christina and White Clay watersheds.

    Delaware State Chapter of the AmericanWater Resources Association News: TheDelaware Section of the American WaterResources Association (DE AWRA)has met everyother month since the chapters Dec. 2004

    inception, providing a common forum for water resources professionals statewide to discuss all aspects of waterresources research and management. In June, about 20 members visited the City of Newarks 317 million gallonreservoir site, hosted by Bill Zimmerman, city Water Quality Engineer. Construction, which resumed in March bynew contractor George and Lynch, currently involves regrading the bottom and side slopes of the reservoir andinstalling a geomembrane and concrete liner. Constructed wetlands will surround the reservoir forming a 10 footbench adjacent to the water line in order to filter water from the reservoirdepths for purification and to deter pedestrians and geese from enteringthe water supply. Now 75% finished, with the raceway renovated, intakepipeline in place, almost one million cubic yards of soil excavated, and 30percent of the liner in place, the project is estimated to complete inSeptember 2005. At that time the Curtis Mill Water Treatment Plant willpump approximately 10 million gallons of water per day from the WhiteClay Creek up to the Reservoir, filling it by December and making the City

    nearly self-sufficient in water supply. Contributor: Martha Corrozi, WatershedAnalyst, UD Water Resources Agency (WRA). [email protected] , 302-831-4931http://www.wr udel.edu. / Photo: Andrew Homsey. DE-AWRA at Newarks Reservoir

    The Delaware Environmental Observing System (DEOS): UDs Center forClimatic Research (CCR) and the Office of the Delaware State Climatologist, withfunding from the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and support from theDelaware Geological Survey, have developed the new Delaware EnvironmentalObserving System(DEOS) a real-time system dedicated to monitoring environmentalconditions in and around the State for decision makers involved with emergencymanagement, natural resource monitoring, transportation, and other activities. Itconsists of (1) a network of approximately thirty new meteorological observation sitescoupled with existing weather and other environmental observation sites in and around

    Delaware (2) the DEOS Integrated Visualization and Analysis System an integrationof surface weather observations with National Weather Service WSR-88D radar precipitation estimates to provideestimates of meteorological and environmental variables over a high spatial resolution grid and (3) a number ofDEOS Analysis Systems, designed to provide decision support in a variety of environmentally-sensitive areas. Thesystem also features event-driven triggers that can notify pagers and cell-phones of extreme weather or hydrologicevents (e.g , heavy rainfall, high streamflow levels, or excessive heat). We also have partnered with the News-Journal Papers to enlist nearly a hundred volunteer weather-watchers around the State who will take precipitationmeasurements and act as spotters during severe weather events. At present, we are just getting started, but weare growing quickly! For more information, see our website at
