Conewago Creek Restoration Plan

In 2003, TCCCA received a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Section 319 Program to conduct a comprehensive watershed assessment and restoration plan for the Conewago Creek Watershed. TCCCA retained RETTEW Associates of Lancaster to conduct the assessment and develop the plan. The plan was updated in 2021 by Tetra Tech.

The watershed assessment and restoration plan, or 319 Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP), serves as a blueprint for TCCCA and other watershed partners to prioritize projects in order to restore water quality in the Conewago Creek, and its tributaries.  TCCCA has received several 319 implementation grants and participated in other volunteer and partner projects over the years.
