Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | On June 11, Ranger Art Myers dumped three tons of limestone sand into the Straight Creek tributary to East Branch Lake. Limestone sand is added bi-annually to the lake’s four tributaries, normally during the spring and fall of each year. The total annual amount of limestone sand applied to the streams is 39.4 tons. The other three streams are Seven Mile Run, Borgardy Run and Whittaker Run. There are three agencies involved in adding limestone to the streams: Bendigo State Park, Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry and the Corps of Engineers at East Branch Lake. The project has been going on since 1996, due to the low PH, alkalinity and conductivity of the water at East Branch Lake. The best way to get the limestone sand to mix with the water is to apply it at a location as far up in the water shed as is assessable by dump truck. This usually means that the sand is dumped on the lower end of an upstream culvert pipe which collects and channels runoff water into the streams. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Art Myers) |
