Howdy River Folks,
Thanks to all the folks that came out for two cleanups this weekend. We did some work getting trash off the islands near Long Level, and the Save Stony Creek folks were working up near Dauphin. If you haven't heard, the Stony Creek folks had a great victory recently when Indiantown Gap decided (after much great work by Save Stony Creek) not to go through with their Firing Range expansion that would have cut off access to parts of Stony Creek Valley, and had a detrimental impact to this nearly pristine waterway just north of Harrisburg. Great work Debra and all the Stony Creek Folks!!!
I'm headed to DC next week for River Action Day where I will be meeting with Senators, Representatives, and their staffers. If anyone has any river-related legislative issues please email me this week.
Last week I met with Army Corps of Engineers folks and had some discussion on the Conowingo sediment issue. They are interested in looking at a proposed solution we have been researching, the dredging and use of the sediment as a construction aggregate. The material would be processed to remove and bind contaminants. The Susquehanna sediment is MUCH less contaminated than the incinerator ash aggregate we helped stop from being used, and the added value of a marketable finished product would greatly reduce the cost of removal and disposal... the main excuse for not doing anything about the serious threat we face down there. (See Conowingo Dam under Current Issues on our site.)
This weekend the heat, and other impacts, brought the oxygen levels in the Susquehanna way down and the water temperatures way up. We are getting reports of dead bass from Marysville to Safe Harbor Dam. Hundreds of fish were seen at Long level and dozens more at Goldsboro. Please take pictures of dead bass, particularly those with growths or lesions (which we are starting to see again). Any info on the state of the river is VERY important right now. We still don't know what exactly is causing these fish kills, and the more details we have the better chance we have of finding the source(s) of the problem.
Things are set for our Codorus Cleanup in 2 weeks. We'll meet in York, at Small Field, behind the National Guard Armory on North George Street. (If you're coming from the north, it's on your left – right before you hit the Codorus.) You can register any time after 9 am and work as long as you want. Parents must be there with their kids, at least to sign in and sign the liability waiver. Kids 8 to 13 should be accompanied by parents.
Please wear long pants, as there are some stinging nettles and poison around. Bring waders if you have them; we'll have a few pairs. We'll supply all the other gear, plus lunch is being provided by Central Family Restaurant and the North York Boro. Please email lowsusriver@hotmail.com or call 717-779-7915 if you can help with a pickup truck, or if you just want to let us know you're coming. This will help with the lunch count too. 
You can download our Clean Up flyer here. (It says CCIP, the group I worked with before Riverkeeper, but SOLS is really the sponsor.) Please print some out and post them wherever you can. Remember to tell all your friends! The cleanup will be some work, but its lots of fun too, and satisfying to see how nice the creek can be when we take care of it.
Thanks for everything you all do and to our new and renewing members. Remember, all donations to Stewards of the Lower Susquehanna are being matched by the Keith Campbell Foundation. Your $50 donation automatically becomes $100, and we could sure use it right now to keep going with our work. Thanks again.

Howdy River Folks!
Hope you are having a great Spring, and getting out on your waterways! I’m almost back on my feet. I was so happy to get out on the river this past weekend (and out of my apartment where I’ve been laid up with a broken leg for 2 months). We did some biological sampling at Blue Rock Mill in Lancaster at an event set up by one of our great supporters, the Chestnut Grove Foundation. We discovered thousands of scuds (look like mini shrimp) and many young sunfish and catfish. This sampling shows that though the critters are not diverse, this is a pretty healthy stream. We did find many dead fish (cause unknown) and this was reported to the PA Fish and Boat Commission for further study. Biological sampling gives us a long-term understanding of the health of our waterways. This type of sampling is easy and we have equipment available for anyone interested in testing their waterway.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have an amazing event coming up on May 7th, but due to injuries and computer malfunctions we are behind on getting the word out. On the evening of May 7th we are having an incredible piano concert, with much of the music inspired by nature, and the proceeds going to Stewards of the Lower Susquehanna! This event features pianists: Greg Maroney, Louis Landon, David Nevue, and Emmy Award winner Jace Vek. Greg Maroney, who lives on the Conewago Creek in York, has been a big supporter of our work, and he and his wife, Linda, helped out on a dam removal and restoration near their home. You can hear clips of Greg’s music at www.gregmaroney.com/music.htm. Louis Landon can be heard at www.louislandon.com; David Nevue at www.davidnevue.com/freedownloads.htm; and Jace Vek at www.jacevek.com.
The concert will be held at Penn State York’s Pullo Family Performing Arts Center, 1031 Edgecomb Avenue, York, PA 17403. (For directions see http://www.pullocenter.yk.psu.edu//directions.php. Tickets are $20 or $10 for students or folks over 55. This will be a great show, and we REALLY need your support. For tickets go to sabo.seatadvisor.com or contact us.
On a different topic, we are scheduling our “Get the Dirt Out” training for July in Harrisburg. We will be working with Widener Law Clinic and others to empower citizens to protect their waterways from storm water runoff. This training offers the tools that citizens need to help reduce polluted runoff from construction sites. You will learn how to document sites, share this info with the proper authorities, and even determine if legal action should be taken by SOLS and the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper®. What we need today, is to find out if folks would like the training on a Friday or Saturday. If this workshop interests you, please contact us ASAP.
A quick thanks and reminder… SOLS members donated nearly $4000 last month, and as stated in earlier emails, every dollar is being matched by the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment. So your donations of $4000 really mean $8000 for our organization!!! Please give when you can, and thanks to all that have already renewed or joined us. We can’t continue our work without the energy that comes from our members.
Thanks again for your patience while I’m healing.

Howdy River Folks,
We’re off to another great start this year. I’ve got news on Conowingo and on the Incinerator Ash issue but let me start with some volunteer opportunities.
Our first activity of the year is coming up on February 16th. We will be doing a stream cleanup (weather permitting) with the Watershed Alliance of York on Kreutz Creek in York County from 10 am to 2 pm. Please email for more directions. Let us know if you would like to set up a cleanup for your area.
Also supported by the Watershed Alliance of York is the WAY Winter Break Wine and Cheese Party at Moondancer Winery, just south of Wrightsville, on February 24th from 1 to 4. As an organizational member of WAY all of our members and volunteers are invited! Please RSVP to me.
We are looking for folks who are interested in construction site and stormwater enforcement for a training session at the Maryland School of Law in Baltimore on February 29th, 9 to 5 pm. If you would like to help with our pollution patrols to reduce land erosion please contact us soon so we can reserve you a seat.
In the news, PA Governor Rendell has agreed to fund the first of the studies needed to move toward a solution to the sediment build-up at the Conowingo and other Lower Susquehanna hydroelectric dams. I’ve talked to some other folks out there and it sounds like we are getting direct credit for getting some momentum behind this issue. I thank you all for your support, particularly those that signed on as supporters of this effort. We still need folks to sign on, so please check out the letter at our website, www.LowerSusquehannaRiverkeeper.org . We also had a great Op-Ed piece in the Harrisburg Patriot to alert our citizens and lawmakers to the need for action on what some have called the biggest single threat to the Chesapeake.
Last Saturday I attended the party for Franklin and Marshall’s Professors Merritts and Walter and the publication of their work on legacy sediments in Science Magazine. This work that explains why our streams have so much sediment buildup and erosion, also gives support to our concerns that reducing erosion from land runoff will likely not be enough to stop the buildup and overflow of sediment at Conowingo dam. Their work shows that nearly 40 million tons of sediment (and the accompanying phosphorus) is stored along the banks of just the Conestoga River. At least some of this sediment, possibly up to 50%, is ripe for erosion into the Susquehanna and Chesapeake. Multiply this throughout the Lower Susquehanna and we have decades and decades of work ahead of us. We need to take a new look at the costs of sediment removal at the dams, so again, please read the letter on our site and see if you or your group can sign on.
American Ash Recycling received a permit to process ash, but they can no longer spread it around Pennsylvania!!! We have effectively kept 2 million tons of toxin-laden incinerator ash from entering our environment! Thanks to everyone that helped in this effort.
Our financial work for 2007 is about complete, so if you have not received a receipt for your donation, please let us know. On that note, its time for some of us to renew our memberships, and perhaps get a few friends to join as well. Once again, the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment is providing a match to all donations up to $40,000!!! But being a challenge grant, we need to raise that $40,000 to get the match. So please give what you can, and know that ALL donations will be DOUBLED!!!
We’ve been very busy and haven’t had a chance to update the website much, but this is the project for next week, so check out the updated site next week. For now I’ll give you a list of some of the events that we’ll be at that are coming up. Please contact us for more details on any event.

On Wednesday the Chesapeake Executive Council, made up of the Governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the Administrator of the U.S. EPA, the Mayor of Washington, D.C. and the Chair of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, met for their annual meeting to discuss strategies to improve the Chesapeake Bay and watershed. After the meeting, Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania committed to supporting research into the increasing threat of sediment build-up behind the hydroelectric dams on the lower Susquehanna River. Most people probably haven’t heard about the issues with the dams, so I would like to share some information.
Since the building of the four dams, these dams have trapped much of the sediment and phosphorus coming from Pennsylvania. Of the lower Susquehanna River dams, York Haven, Safe Harbor, Holtwood, and Conowingo, all but Conowingo, the furthest south, have reached capacity and are no longer trapping sediment. Sediment behind Conowingo Dam and the loss of its sediment retaining capacity now present imminent and substantial threats to the Chesapeake Bay.
The first threat to the Bay is a repeat of the “catastrophic pulse”. During 4 days in 1972, flood water from Tropical Storm Agnes carried 4 years worth of sediment and pollutants down the Susquehanna River. When the flood water reached the lower Susquehanna dams it scoured another 8 years of sediment that had been trapped in the reservoirs (most from Conowingo). This “catastrophic pulse” of 12 years worth, or 30 million tons of sediment combined with the surge of freshwater to inflict the biggest single damaging event ever recorded in the Chesapeake Bay. Over the past 35 years this sediment has built up to a level exceeding 1972 levels, creating a threat of damages even greater than that experienced in 1972. Scientists agree that the question is not if this will occur again, but only a matter of when.
The second threat builds as the Conowingo Pool reaches sediment storage capacity causing a massive increase of sediment and phosphorus to the Chesapeake Bay. The Conowingo Dam currently collects and retains about 65% of the sediment coming down the Susquehanna. This essentially makes the Conowingo Dam the biggest single mitigation tool, or “Best Management Practice”, in the Chesapeake Bay. Once sediment trapping capacity is reached, the average load of sediment from the Susquehanna to the Chesapeake Bay will increase by up to 250% (from 1.2 million tons to 3.2 million). This sediment will contain as much as 3.5 million pounds of phosphorus, an increase of 30 to 40%. These increases will have major effects on the Chesapeake Bay from the size of “dead zones”, to feeding and breeding capabilities of aquatic species, to channel dredging frequency and costs.
One major storm, or simply letting the sediment build up, will both lead to a catastrophe. In New Orleans we saw what can happen when warnings like these are ignored. These threats must be dealt with, and the Chesapeake Executive Council has shown great forethought in making this a priority. I hope this explanation helps our citizens and legislators understand the need for immediate action.

Howdy River Folks,
Last month, we had two
solid victories in a row. First, as many of you know, the PA DEP denied
American Ash Recycling their permit to continue spreading toxin-laden
incinerator ash across Pennsylvania as construction fill. This was the
first positive sign we’ve seen in what has been a goal of SOLS, and a 5
year battle for me personally, to end this short-sighted practice.
Unfortunately, this is not yet the end, as American Ash will most
likely be re-filing for their permit, based on the fact that they just
put a help wanted ad in the York newspapers. Our second victory was
DEP’s response to our reporting of illegal landfilling at Lauxmont
Farms. We have since discovered at least 8 individual locations where
trash has been buried illegally in pits and trenches on this historic
property.
Also, after the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper visited Capitol Hill
and requested that Congress address the Conowingo Sediment threat,
Congressmen Gilchrest and Platts have begun talks with SRBC, EPA, the
Chesapeake Bay Program, and the Northeast Midwest Institute to
determine how they can address this single biggest threat to the
Chesapeake Bay. These same entities have encouraged SOLS to increase
our education efforts on this issue. We have created and posted on our
website a two-page scientific summary, and a one page short version, of
this dangerous situation on the Lower Susquehanna, a situation that
some have compared to the failure of government to act on the New
Orleans levees before Katrina. You can download either version here. Please share this info with others.
Don't forget to join us for the SOLS Fall Appreciation Party to learn
more, and find out how you can help improve our communities and waterways
for ourselves and all future generations.

Howdy River Folks,
Just wanted to get one request out and share the exciting news of our major victory on the incinerator ash!
The quick request is that we are seeking new Board Members who have a passion for the Susquehanna Watershed, have some time to contribute to helping build the membership and plan events, and who believe in our work so much that they can share their passion and belief with others in an effort to raise funds for our work. Our next BOD meeting is Thursday October 18th at 6:30 pm at our office, 324 W Market St in York. If you have any interest, please come out and see what it’s about. Attendance at the meeting does not automatically put you on the Board, so don’t be afraid that you will get roped in by attending.
Now to the VICTORY! After 5 years of voicing concerns, filing a lawsuit blocked by PA DEP in 2003, and bringing in the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry to investigate DEP's permitting of incinerator ash as construction fill, PA DEP announces the 10-year permit for American Ash Recycling will not be renewed!!!
Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper®, Michael Helfrich, filed over 600 pages of comments and supporting documents, including recent responses from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry that echoed his concerns regarding unknown levels of dioxins, high levels of heavy metals, and improper application of this material that was being buried without any safety precautions or notices to future landowners. We also mobilized citizens and state and local government officials who likewise voiced their concerns.
Over 200,000 tons of incinerator ash has already been buried under playgrounds, homes, parking lots, and businesses. In some cases, this material has washed into exceptional value wetlands and tributaries of the Susquehanna. The Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper will continue to work with ATSDR to investigate these other sites to determine what further measures must be taken to secure the safety of Pennsylvania's citizens, communities and waterways.
Congratulations to everyone that submitted comments and helped do the research to put our case together. This is a tremendous victory!!! Thanks for your support, Stewards!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/10/2007
PA DEP CONTACT: Neil Weaver
DEP DENIES YORK COUNTY ASH RECYCLING PERMIT
American Ash Recycling Product Failed to Meet Beneficial Use Standards; Faced Numerous Compliance Issues Under General Permit
HARRISBURG -- The Department of Environmental Protection today denied an application by American Ash Recycling of Pa. Inc. to renew its general permit, which had allowed the company to process and apply its AggRite product for beneficial use.
The department cited problems with the product’s performance and application, along with a failure to meet the beneficial use standards outlined in DEP’s regulations.
“American Ash Recycling has failed to demonstrate that AggRite is suitable for use as a structural or construction material, and has failed to comply with the terms if its existing permit,” said Thomas Fidler, deputy secretary for waste, air and radiation management.
American Ash Recycling produces AggRite by treating incinerator ash from the York County Resource Recovery Facility. American Ash Recycling’s process reduces the leachability of heavy metals in the ash.
When DEP issued the original permit in December 1997, AggRite was approved for beneficial uses as a construction aggregate material and as asphalt and concrete aggregate provided it met the state Department of Transportation’s respective specifications.
At American Ash Recycling’s request, DEP modified the general permit in August 2002 to allow AggRite be used as a bulking agent for sludge or liquid waste, a construction aggregate material under sidewalks and parking lots, base material for roadway embankments, and in the production of manufactured brick and blocks.
Fidler noted that American Ash Recycling could not demonstrate AggRite’s effectiveness for these additional uses.
A number of past and outstanding compliance issues involving the use of AggRite also exist under the current general permit, which expires Dec. 23, 2007.
The American Ash Recycling processing facility has generated more than 500,000 tons of AggRite, most of which had been stockpiled at a quarry in York. The stockpile was removed under the terms of a January 2004 consent decree and most of the material has been removed and taken to Modern Landfill.

EPA's National Fish Forum invites scientists, industry
representatives, regulators, and the public to share toxicological,
epidemiological, and messaging information on the risks of fish
consumption. Fish is a very healthy food, however toxins now outweigh
the benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in some types of fish. The goal of
the forum is to determine which fish are of concern, and how to make
sure that people, particularly pregnant women and children, eat the
right types of fish. Lack of Omega 3's can be more detrimental than the
toxins, so we must promote the best sources of Omega-3's with the least
risk of contaminants such as mercury, PCB's, dioxins, and other
emerging contaminants.
After hearing the heartfelt words of the representatives of the Native
American tribes, I could not stop myself from crossing the
science-math/humanitarian line. My statements were very brief because I
was rushed by the moderator due to our lunch break, so some
"connecting" sentences were omitted. Except for a few brief questions
during this four-day forum, this is what I felt I had to say:
"I would like to thank the EPA and organizers for including
this panel on the Native American perspective to this issue.
Particularly I would like to thank George (George Frantz of U.S. EPA),
Fred (Fred Corey of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs), and Daniel
(Kusnierez of the Penobscot Nation). Fred, I could feel what you felt
during your presentation, and you made me feel that I had to speak."
(Fred described how his adopted Aroostook son had developmental
disabilities but loved every aspect of fishing and it pained him to
tell his son that he could not eat the fish that his son loved to
catch, clean, cook, and eat.)
"Both Native American and Asian cultures are
particularly affected by fishing advisories. I have lived with the
Blackfeet, Hopi and Denai (Navajo). To Native Americans, fish is not
just a meal; the fish are their brothers and sisters, like the rocks
are their grandfathers and the rivers and oceans are their
grandmothers. This is their culture.
"Although some concentrations of pollutants have declined,
we continue to pollute our environment. We continue to inflict cultural
and environmental injustice on this land's original people. We continue
to poison one of, if not THE healthiest food sources given to us by
God. This is CRIMINAL, and I invite you, each in your own way, to help
change this paradigm."
Although one scientist whom I respect told me my statements were
inappropriate for this forum, every other person I spoke with thanked
me. I knew this was the only chance I would get to address this many
EPA officials and scientists, so I felt I had to speak. Thanks to
everyone that encouraged me afteward.
I'd also like to invite you to check out the following informative websites:
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD CHOICES : Seafood Watch regional
guides contain the latest information on sustainable seafood choices
available in different regions of the U.S.

Howdy River Folks,
Happy Independence Day, or Dependence Day, as some of my friends call
it. This is a day to join with our friends and communities to celebrate
that we are a free people. Some of my friends call it Dependence Day so
that we also remember that we are depending on each other to preserve
and protect our way of life.
It has been a little while since I had a chance to email everyone, and
a great deal has happened since then. Normally I would go through a
list of our accomplishments first, but we have gotten an incredible
offer that I want to share with everyone. An anonymous donor wants to
start an endowment for Stewards of the Lower Susquehanna, and he has
offered to match up to $27,000 in donations. What’s even more
incredible is that he has agreed to a simultaneous match with our
wonderful benefactors the Keith Campbell Foundation who continue to
support us in a match campaign. What that means is every dollar that
comes in is now matched by TWO dollars. A $35 membership now becomes
$105 for SOLS!!! This will only last through the next few months, so
becoming a member now will make your contribution that much more
valuable. So please become a member or renew your membership soon.
Thanks again for all the support!
Now let me get to the good stuff.
To start off, more chemical contaminants have been found in Selinsgrove
and plans for removal of the toxins are in the works. Let me point out
that there is still no proven connection between these toxins and the
over 50 cases of cancer reported from Susquehanna University students
and alumni. But it does show that more investigation should have been
done in the first place, we were right to be concerned, and our
advocacy has lead to a safer environment for that community. We will
continue to follow this issue.
Our work on construction site runoff continues. I recently made a
7-minute video of the failure of silt fences called “Mud in the
Run”. It can be seen on our website, our Myspace page,
and on YouTube. We’ve gotten over 100 hits on this already. We
are also working on possible legal action against developers in
Lancaster County for creating flooding and erosion problems. Please let
us know if you see anything running off construction sites near you.
Take pictures, or better yet video, and we’ll try to get that evidence
into the public eye. I’d like to feature different problem developers
on our website. The current video features S&A Homes’ and Keystruct
Construction’s illegal runoff in York County.
At the Susquehanna River Basin Commission’s June meeting, I again
brought up citizens’ concerns over Conowingo sediments and eel
passages. I explained that I was trying to partner with Exelon (dam
owner) and the proper agencies to deal with these problems, but other
concerned Waterkeepers and citizens were looking into legal options to
“expedite the mitigation of the sediments”, and to hasten the building
of eel passages. There was much discussion after the meeting, and I
believe SRBC will help to get the sediment issues back on the radar.
Finally, I was down in New Orleans for our annual Waterkeeper Summit. I
learned a great deal and made wonderful new friends and contacts. While
down there, I participated in some environmental restoration of native
grasses and trees. I brought back one major concern that I’d like to
share with you. There is a problem along the Gulf Coast that you can
help with. The lumber industry is cutting down the trees that are the
main barrier between Gulf storms and the coastal towns and cities. The
trees are Cypress trees, some as old as 300 years, and they are cutting
them down and putting them into mulchers! Not just the scraps, not
small waste trees, but whole virgin Cypress trees are being turned into
mulch! Please do not buy Cypress mulch. Even if it says
“environmentally friendly” or from Arkansas or Florida, that is just a
scam. We have video of the products coming from Louisiana facilities
with FL and AR labels. Pine mulch is just as good or even better at
being insect-resistant so don’t believe the sales pitch. You can learn
more at www.saveourcypress.org.
There is a lot more going on with Stewards of the Lower Susquehanna, so
remember to check the website frequently for upcoming events, and don’t
hesitate to email. We’re having a cleanup at Otter Creek on July 18th
and another in Marietta in September, so please contact us if you are
interested.

 I
met with "Riding the Rim's" Terry Forrette after a press conference for
improved access and recreational use of the Codorus Creek in York,
PA. Terry is riding his Harley on a 12,000 mile educational tour
for the group "America's Wetlands" from New Orleans around the
perimeter of the continental United States. They hope to shed
light on the loss of the Coastal Wetlands in Louisiana, the Gulf Coast,
and around the country, as well as the cost that we pay for developing
or removing these wetlands.
After meeting with Terry and hearing of his work, and sharing the work
of the Waterkeeper Alliance to preserve the Louisiana Cypress, I knew
we found another comrade in our efforts to protect one of my favorite
cities, New Orleans, as well as protecting the Cypress of the Gulf
Coast and wetlands throughout the nation. Please check out
Terry's website for his Riding the Rim campaign for America's Wetlands
