2012 Annual Report


Cicada’s hatching

The periodical cicada is a native North American insect species. Adults are about one and one-half inches long and have eyes and wing veins that are reddish orange. After 17 years of living in the soil from depths of two to twenty-four inches, mature nymphs of the periodical cicada start burrowing upward. In April they burrow to about an inch beneath the soil surface where they stop and await the proper time to emerge. They are only around for about two weeks but make the impression while they are here! For information regarding the periodical cicada:

Pike County Conservation District Board and Staff Participate in the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup! 

Pike County Conservation District Board and Staff did their part to support the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup in early April. In Keeping Pennsylvania Beautiful, the District sponsors a two-mile segment of State Route 402 near the District office in Blooming Grove.  After the April 15, 2013 Board meeting, clean-up teams consisting of District Board members, Pike County Commissioners and District Staff took to the road and picked up 29 bags of bottles, cans, and garbage just in time for Earth Day. Pictured from left to right above are Sherry Milliken, Resource Conservationist Marianna Quartararo, Resource Conservationist Russell Seese, District Director Bob Engvaldsen, Pike County Commissioner Matt Osterberg, Executive Director Sally Corrigan, District Associate Director John Milliken, and Pike County Commissioner Richard Caridi. 

 


Revised Fee Schedule for Services
Please note that the District Board has revised the Fee Schedule for Services, effective February 16, 2013, to incorporate changes regarding the Chapter 105 regulations.


 

NEW PROCEDURES IN PLACE FOR DEP PERMIT APPLICATIONS 

DEP has updated the Chapter 105 General Permit Registration forms. The new forms can be located at http://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/View/Collection-11421

 


As of November 14, 2012, the PA Department of Environmental Protection’s new Permit Review Process (PRP) and Permit Decision Guarantee (PDG) and Permit Coordination Policies will be implemented for various Chapter 102 (including NPDES Permits for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities) and Chapter 105 related permits.  Pike County Conservation District will begin to process applications under these new directives.  

Permit applicants and their consultants should review the SOPs and revised permit application materials carefully to become familiar with the new procedures and avoid potential project delays.
