7. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program

Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are wastes generated by a household that are hazardous in nature such as oil-based paints and paint-related products, pesticides, pool chemicals, drain cleaners, degreasers and other car-care products as well as end-of-life consumer electronic products. Such consumer waste products, if carelessly managed, can create environmental and public health hazards. Counties, municipalities and other entities engaging in DEP-approved HHW collection and disposal programs may be eligible for up to 50 percent reimbursement of approved costs not to exceed $100,000 for all collections in a county during a fiscal year.

VECTOR MANAGEMENT

1. Black Fly Suppression Program

Black flies, commonly referred to as gnats, are pests to people as well as wild and domestic animals. The goal of the program is to reduce adult black fly populations to tolerable pest levels during the summer recreational season for


53










Pennsylvania residents as well as tourists. DEP monitors streams for the presence of fly populations, and then treats selected areas with bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, an environmentally safe, species- specific and naturally occurring soil bacterium to kill human-pest species of black flies before they can mature to the adult stage. Stream flow conditions, water temperatures, species identifications, larval size and counts determine when and where treatment will occur. DEP monitors populations before and after spraying to determine the effectiveness of treatments. Funding for the program comes from a combination of state legislature appropriations and participating county shares. Counties with suspect black fly problems should contact DEP to request a survey of black fly populations. DEP provides an analysis of the problem, and potential cost of participation in the Black Fly Suppression Program.

Contact: Andy Kyle of DEP’s Black Fly Suppression Program in Vector Management at 717-346-82341, email [email protected] or Doug Orr at 717-346-8244, [email protected] for more information, or call your DEP regional office for concerns or questions specific to your area.

2. West Nile Virus Control Program

Human illness from West Nile virus first appeared in Pennsylvania in 2000. This disease was previously only found in Africa, eastern Europe and west Asia. West nile virus is vectored by mosquitoes and maintained in the environment by overwintering mosquitoes that had obtained the virus from the previous season. Infected overwintering mosquitoes pass the virus to birds, amplifying the virus in the bird population, providing a reservoir to infect previously uninfected mosquitoes. These infected mosquitoes must be controlled to reduce the risk of human transmission. This cycle will cause the disease to remain in Pennsylvania for the foreseeable future.

To help detect, track and control the virus, the Pennsylvania Departments of Health (DOH), DEP and Agriculture (DOA) developed a comprehensive surveillance program. Pennsylvania's plan has four parts: education, source


54



reduction, surveillance and control of mosquitoes. DOH conducts laboratory testing to confirm West Nile virus human cases, monitors human outbreak potential from mosquito infection rates, and educates health care providers about the signs and symptoms of West Nile virus. DOA monitors animal populations for signs of the virus, particularly suspected horse cases. DEP developed a mosquito surveillance and control network and works with counties to coordinate mosquito control activities. Thirty counties displaying the highest risk of human illness from West Nile virus are eligible for grant funding to conduct surveillance and control activities. DEP and DOH test mosquito samples to determine the presence of West Nile virus in the mosquito population. DEP tests wild dead birds submitted from county and DEP program staff.

Contact: For more information on the program and its implementation in your area call your local West Nile Coordinator through your county government offices or visit www.westnile.state.pa.us, or your regional DEP West Nile Program Coordinator.

Contact: For information on county grants, contact Matt Helwig or Andy Kyle, DEP Vector Management at 717-346-8238 or via email at [email protected] or [email protected].

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

1. Watershed Protection / Non-point Source Pollution Education Grants

Water Resource Education Network will award 10 to 12 grants of up to $5,000 each for community-based partnerships to conduct watershed protection education projects that raise awareness and educate Pennsylvania citizens and local officials about their roles as environmental stewards to protect, improve or remediate the watershed from the impacts of nonpoint source pollution also known as polluted runoff.


55

http://www.westnile.state.pa.us/



To encourage awareness of land use impacts on water quality, a municipality is required to be an active partner in the project. Nonpoint source pollution includes: drainage or runoff from resource extraction, abandoned coal mines, oil or gas wells, inadequate erosion control practices during construction, urban runoff, improper agricultural practices such as erosion and sedimentation, nutrient management, pesticide application, improper timber harvesting practices, or failing on-lot septic systems or other abandoned waste disposal sites. Nonpoint source pollution also results from altered hydrology, changing the way water flows through an area, due to impervious surface area and stormwater.

Contact: Julie Kollar, WREN Project Director at 267-468-0555 or via email at [email protected]. More information, including the grant application forms, can be found at http://palwv.org/wren/grants/grants_wren.html.

2. Source Water Protection Education Grants

WREN will award three grants of up to $7,000 each to initiate a county-wide partnership, known as the Source Water Environmental Education Team (SWEET) that will raise awareness and encourage county public water suppliers and communities to voluntarily implement source water protection in a practical, sustainable way through prevention and risk reduction activities and appropriate land management strategies.

The SWEET team will raise awareness about public water supply areas, potential contaminant sources in local communities, recommended management measures to reduce risk of contamination in source water areas, and provide assistance with contingency planning and emergency response plans in the county.

The goal is to ensure high quality drinking water now and for future generations, and keep water treatment costs down. At least one or more community water systems must be a member of the partnership. Projects are to be conducted between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014.

In 1945, the conservation district law was passed authorizing the creation of county conservation districts. Today there is a conservation district established in every Pennsylvania county except Philadelphia. Conservation districts implement a variety of programs that address environmental issues unique to their counties. Some examples of these include environmental education, forest management, stormwater management, floodplain management, dirt and gravel roads, nutrient management, the Chesapeake Bay Program, abandoned mine reclamation, biosolids, stream and wetland encroachments, erosion and sedimentation pollution control, agricultural preservation and wildlife management.

Many Pennsylvania county conservation districts have been delegated responsibility from DEP to process general permits authorizing water obstruction and encroachment activities. This delegation bestows these conservation districts with the responsibility for receiving and investigating complaints, verifying compliance or noncompliance with applicable Pennsylvania laws, and referring noncompliance to DEP for follow up.

Each county conservation district has responsibilities under DEP’s Erosion and Sedimentation Control (PA Code Title 25, Chapter 102) Program. Conservation districts can have one of three different levels of delegation of responsibilities under this program as follows:

Level I Delegation - Responsibilities include providing information about DEP's Erosion and Sediment Control Program, reviewing and processing of erosion and sediment control permit applications, and reviewing of erosion and sediment control plans.

Level II Delegation - Includes all level I responsibilities, plus the responsibility to conduct complaint investigations and site inspections.

Level III Delegation - Includes level I and II responsibilities, plus enforcement responsibilities such as administrative hearings, equity actions, summary or misdemeanor actions and assessment of civil penalties. In addition to the

Pa. County Conservation Districts

61

Erosion and Sediment Control (Chapter 102) Program, a number of level II and III conservation districts are also delegated responsibilities for processing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for stormwater discharges associated with construction activities.

Contact the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. or your county conservation district office for more information. A directory is provided on the following pages, as well as at www.pacd.org, where it is updated regularly.
