The public is cordially invited to attend a picnic and tour of the Lycoming College Biology Field Station on the evening of September 14, 2022. The event will begin with a picnic dinner at 5:30 pm and tour of the Biology Field Station used by Lycoming College staff and its Clean Water Institute in teaching biology and environmental science including demonstration and research projects on conservation and restoration of the Loyalsock Creek riparian floodplain and ecosystem. Hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato salad, chips, beverages, and tableware will be provided. Everyone can bring any additional food as desired and please bring a chair as seating is extremely limited.
At 6:30 pm there will be presentations on abandoned mine discharge (AMD) treatment work being done in the headwaters of Loyalsock Creek and discussion of possible plans to upgrade treatment systems in need of rehabilitation and capacity expansion. Speakers will be Bobby Hughes and Mike Hewitt of the Eastern PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) and Tom Clark of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC). Both organizations and their speakers have extensive experience in treatment of AMD, and have been studying the status of the water quality of upper Loyalsock Creek and performance and condition of current systems used to treat AMD from tunnels used to drain water from under old coal mine shafts which discharge to Loyalsock Creek.
