Bureau of Watershed Restoration and Nonpoint Source Management Publishes 2023 Annual Report
The Bureau of Watershed Restoration and Nonpoint Source Management (BWRNSM) published their 2023 Healthy Waters Healthy Communities Annual Report on July 26, 2024. This report celebrates the work of counties, communities, state and local leaders to reduce nutrient pollution going into local streams and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. In 2023, Pennsylvania reduced 3.62 million pounds of nitrogen, 80,000 pounds of phosphorus, and 102 million pounds of sediment from entering local waterways.
The report highlights the work of 34 county teams working with over 1,200 individuals and organizations to implement local Countywide Action Plans (CAPs) to accelerate clean water project implementation. Specific examples of implemented projects in the agricultural sector, natural sector, and urban sector are featured in this report. The annual report also shares the collaborative efforts to identify solutions to clean water project implementation challenges and to accelerate rapid stream delisting (indicating healthy biological activity once delisted) across multiple counties.

EPA Releases Two-Year Milestone Evaluations of Chesapeake Bay Clean Up Efforts: PA Efforts and Success Identified
EPA reported that, watershed-wide, the partnership continues to make incremental progress toward the 2025 goal. The partnership has already implemented practices to achieve 100% of the targeted sediment reductions, and practices are in place to achieve 57% of the nitrogen reductions and 67% of the phosphorus reductions. However, more progress is needed to meet the 2025 nitrogen and phosphorus targets.
Successes to highlight in water quality efforts include Pennsylvania and Virginia increasing the reductions achieved from the agriculture sector in 2023, and partners continuing to invest in accelerating implementation.
“The collaborative local, county, and state partnerships and coordinated efforts happening in Pennsylvania are key to driving forward our commitment to clean water, healthy communities, and a vibrant agricultural industry,” said BWRNSM Director Jill Whitcomb.
• Pennsylvania provided detailed progress updates on all key initiatives with a focus on new funding programs to support work in the agricultural sector and evolving outreach through the Countywide Action Plans (CAP).
• Pennsylvania’s legislature committed to a $50 million annual recurring investment in the state’s Clean Streams Fund in the 2024-25 state budget.
• Pennsylvania updated several programmatic milestones to connect programs with targeted increases in BMP implementation. The 2024-2025 milestone progress report will attribute BMPs to specific funding sources.
• Increased PA staff capacity to make progress on programmatic priorities that support the WIP and CAPs.
• Advanced programmatic milestones associated with outreach and CAPs to address barriers to BMP implementation.
• Completed publication of the Chesapeake Bay Nutrient Trading Tool (CBNTT).
• Met milestones associated with distribution of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for the Clean Streams Fund and associated state programs.
Pennsylvania is actively participating with EPA and its Bay partners in discussions about the efforts beyond 2025 and how to move forward in meeting the needs of the Bay ecosystem and the people in the Bay watershed.
The two-year milestone reports are prepared by the Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions – Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. These reports represent key check-in points on the way to having all pollutant reduction measures in place by 2025, a goal established by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership. The CBP partnership is composed of the seven Bay jurisdictions, and dozens of local governments, federal partners, organizations, and academic institutions.

DEP Launches Two New Initiatives to Continue to Speed Up Permitting Processes
Pennsylvania DEP announced the introduction of two new programs to hire more staff and expand permitting capacity at the agency thanks to investments in the 2024-25 bipartisan budget signed into law by Governor Shapiro. The two programs are the Streamlining Permits for Economic Expansion and Economic Development (SPEED) program and the Chapter 105 Joint Permit Pilot Program.
The SPEED program will provide additional flexibility to permit applicants by allowing applicants to choose to have a DEP-verified and qualified professional conduct the initial review of the application. DEP staff will review the recommendations of the qualified professional and either make a final permit decision or identify technical deficiencies to the applicant. DEP will have final authority over all permit decisions.
Starting this fall, DEP will solicit qualified professionals to review applications for certain air quality plan approvals (Chapter 127), earth disturbance (Chapter 102), dam safety (Chapter 105), and individual water obstruction and encroachment (Chapter 105) permits. Applicants for those permits will agree to pay any review fees incurred by the qualified professional, in addition to permit application fees.
DEP is continuing to identify process improvements in its permitting programs. DEP has significantly improved the Chapter 105 Water Obstruction and Encroachment General Permit registration process by updating the registration form and instructions to make them easier to understand. DEP is also launching a new Chapter 105 Pilot Program for Individual Joint Permit Applications that should reduce errors in applications and cut the total time to process an application by 63 days. Similar to the Chapter 102 Pilot Program, launched on May 1, 2024, applicants will need to meet with DEP prior to submitting a permit application. The Chapter 105 individual Permit Pilot Program will give review priority to publicly funded energy projects and environmental restoration projects.

Clean Water Progress Teams Continue to Meet to Develop Strategies for Success
The three Clean Water Progress Teams continue to work together to develop robust recommended “Strategies for Success” to help address priority action item challenges generated at the October 2023 Clean Water Gathering of state program and county action leaders.
The Progress Team recommendations will discuss what could be done to address the challenges raised, who should be engaged, how steps could be taken to move forward, and when it might occur.
Teams will continue to dive deep and work on these strategies and recommendations throughout the fall and early winter of 2024. BWRNSM Chesapeake Bay Watershed Restoration Division coordinators continue to facilitate the groups and will work with each group to finalize recommendations. Once finalized, the recommended Strategies for Success will be shared among a broader audience of partners and leaders at a second Clean Water Gathering in late January 2025.
Some common themes that are emerging from the Progress Team discussion include the need for streamlining and coordinating policies, reporting systems, funding, programs, and partnerships; research and assessment of new concepts; and education, outreach and accessibility to information across a range of audiences.

Shapiro Administration Invests $13 Million in Tax Credits to Support Farmers Improving Water, Soil Quality
Pennsylvania’s Department of Agriculture Secretary, Russell Redding, announced $13 million in tax credits available to support Pennsylvania farmers’ efforts to improve soil health and water quality. Tax credits through Pennsylvania’s innovative conservation financing program, Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP), can be combined with other state funding, including the Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP), and Conservation Excellence Grants (CEG), as well as federal funding to help pay for farm enhancements that protect the environment and boost farm sustainability. Pennsylvania’s State Conservation Commission, a partnership of the PA Departments of Agriculture and Environmental Protection, is accepting applications through September 1, 2024, for REAP tax credits from agricultural producers who implement best management practices or purchase equipment to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff, enhance soil health, and improve water quality.
Governor Shapiro’s 2024-25 budget includes new investments in agriculture innovation and conservation to keep Pennsylvania a national leader. New investments include a $10 million Agriculture Innovation Fund, plus a new state investment of $35 million to continue Clean Streams Fund support for ACAP, and another $5 million for the Nutrient Management fund. Roughly $85 million of the $154 million American Rescue Plan dollars Pennsylvania invested in ACAP are helping more than 1,200 farmers improve conservation on their farms since January 2023. New state investments will continue that momentum and be magnified further by current historic levels of state and federal conservation investments.

Chesapeake Bay's Underwater Grasses Rebound for Third Year
Underwater grass beds in the Chesapeake Bay region expanded for the third consecutive year in 2023, reaching the seventh highest level observed in four decades of monitoring. The news was especially good in high salinity areas of the lower Chesapeake, where underwater meadows — a critical habitat for many species — covered a greater area than had been observed in a quarter century.
Overall, data from the annual aerial survey conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science showed a 7% increase in the Bay and its tidal tributaries over 2022, with grass beds covering an estimated 82,937 acres. Submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV, provides an important refuge for juvenile blue crabs and fish, as well as food for waterfowl. Plus, they pump oxygen into the water, their roots help stabilize sediment, and their leaves buffer wave action. They are also a closely watched indicator of Bay health because the plants require clear water to get the sunlight needed to survive. They die off when sediment and nutrient-fueled algae blooms cloud the water. Because underwater grasses are so important, Bay cleanup goals are aimed in part at creating conditions that would allow 185,000 acres of grasses to return.

USDA Announces $190 Million Grant Opportunity to Help Private Forest Landowners Address Climate Change
On July 25, 2024, the USDA Forest Service announced $190 million in grant opportunities to help private forest landowners adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change and retain working forestlands. The current closing date for applications is September 30, 2024. Of the total, $140 million is available to support state-endorsed cost-share programs for landowners. Cost-share payments lower the financial barriers for landowners to adapt to climate change by making forests more resilient to changing climate conditions, and to store more carbon on the landscape. Additionally, $50 million is available to programs that issue payments directly to landowners to adopt practices that increase carbon sequestration and storage of their forests. Privately owned forests and private forest landowners are key to tackling the climate crisis. Private landowners manage more than 60% of forests in the United States.
The Forest Service is committed to supporting landowners as they manage their forests in a changing climate. In addition to these investments, the agency recently announced $145 million from the Inflation Reduction Act for projects that connect private forest landowners with emerging climate markets.

EPA Offers Technical Assistance and Grants Through Environmental and Climate Justice Program
The U.S. EPA is offering grants and technical assistance through their Environmental and Climate Justice Program (ECJ Program). As part of this effort, EPA has created an EPA Disadvantaged Communities map layer to help potential applicants easily identify whether a community is considered disadvantaged under this funding source. EPA has also selected 16 technical assistance centers across the country (Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers, or EJ TCTACs) to provide training and other assistance for navigating federal grant applications, developing strong grant proposals, and managing grant funding. For organizations and federally recognized tribes in EPA Region 3 (includes PA), the National Wildlife Federation serves as the assistance center. Multiple funding opportunities are available under the EPA’s ECJ Program. Two are highlighted below:
Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program (Community Change Grants) is currently accepting applications on a rolling basis through November 21, 2024, for requests of $1-$20 million for projects benefiting disadvantaged communities through reducing pollution, increasing community resilience, and building community capacity. These place-based investments will be focused on community-driven initiatives to be responsive to community and stakeholder input. They are designed to deliver on the transformative potential for communities most adversely and disproportionately impacted by climate change, legacy pollution, and historical disinvestments.
Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program (Grantmakers Program) will be coming soon (expected Fall 2024) and will provide subgrants to community-based nonprofits and other eligible subrecipients for assessment, planning, and project development activities. Grantmakers will alleviate much of the burden that the federal grants process places on small, resource-constrained community-based organizations supporting underserved communities and marginalized populations. These Grantmakers are a combination of community-based nonprofit organizations in potential partnerships with a federally recognized Tribal government or an institution of higher education. Grantmakers will design competitive application and submission processes, award environmental justice subgrants, implement a tracking and reporting system, provide resources and support to communities, all in collaboration with EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights.

Hammertown Road Restoration: A Collaborative Success
The restoration at catchment Co49 on Hammertown Road, an unnamed tributary of the Conestoga River, is a testament to long-term dedication and teamwork. Starting fifteen years ago, USDA-NRCS and the Lancaster County Conservation District (LCCD) began a farm restoration project that set the stage for a major conservation effort.
Over the years, landowners engaged in conservation discussions leading to BMP implementation. From 2008 to 2024, the project secured funding from various sources, including the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Landowners played a critical role, implementing measures like grassed waterways, streamside fencing, and nutrient management plans. Support from organizations like TeamAg, the Stroud Water Research Center, and Lancaster Clean Water Partners was essential.
Phase 1 concluded in June 2024, with the final streamside buffer planting. In July, a celebratory meeting at the Zerbe Mansion highlighted the project's achievements and educated the public on its positive effects. Monitoring by the Stroud Water Research Center aims to show long-term benefits for water quality. This restoration project exemplifies the power of collaboration, trust and commitment to conservation. Many contributors made it a success!

Lancaster County Restoration: A Model of Community Collaboration
In Lancaster County, where history and agriculture blend seamlessly, efforts to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment flowing to the Chesapeake Bay are making a significant impact. A recent project on North Hollander Road in Gordonville exemplifies this community spirit.
Initiated in 2021, the LCCD approached a plain sect farmer to restore a sediment-clogged stream, an unnamed tributary to Muddy Run, on his property. The farmer's agreement set the stage for a collaboration involving multiple organizations, students and community members.
The project included removing a dam, replacing a concrete stream crossing with a rock-bottom crossing, installing riffles for stability, and creating a 35-foot riparian buffer with streamside fencing. Unique Excavating completed the restoration in three days. In June, 27 Conestoga Valley High School students, led by Mr. Hovan, planted 220 native trees and shrubs from Octoraro Native Nursery, stabilizing the streambank and enhancing the ecosystem.
“This project is a testament to collaboration and commitment to aquatic restoration,” said Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist at LCCD. “Many different entities came together, including an Amish farmer, two state agencies, a national non-profit, a local high school, and the Conservation District. Together, we reconnected a stream and restored native habitat for wildlife and the community.”
This project, funded by the PA Fish & Boat Commission and a 319 grant from DEP, is part of the PA Aquatic Connectivity Team (PACT) initiative. Lancaster County's cooperative spirit shows that through collaboration, lasting environmental impact is achievable.
More information can be found on the blog detailing this project success story.
