PROJECT DESCRIPTION & BACKGROUND In order to stop erosion along the bank of the Lycoming Creek that borders the Lycoming Sportsmans Club, a mudsill was installed in 2009. The present mudsill is still there, however, it has deteriorated and lost rock stabilization. 150 feet upstream of the structure, erosion is actively occurring and more stabilization is needed. The original partner for the mudsill construction, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, has created a multifaceted design to stabilize 350 feet of streambank. Installing rootward deflectors and log frames will be necessary for this project. Part of the work would begin above the 2009-installed structure. More than 150 feet of new stabilization would be added upstream from those original structures. To improve functionally, modifications to the 2009 structures will be required in order to compliment the new structures. After stabilization is finished, riparian buffer plantings with an average width of 35 feet would be made to provide additional stabilization, stream-side leaf input, and shade to ward off solar warming. After this project is finished, it should reduce 4.47 tons of sediment, 30.55 pounds of nitrogen, and 24.45 pounds of phosphorus annually. This project has will be funded by Countywide Action Plan Funding (CAP) The Lycoming County Countywide Action Plan outline a strategy to enhance the quality of local water through coordinating partnerships and the installation of projects. This projects priority is reflected in the Lycoming County Countywide Action by demonstrating the availability to reduce nutrient and sediment in a waterway located in Lycoming County. As the Lycoming County Countywide Action Plan was created to connect county efforts to statewide goals outlined in the Pennsylvania Phase 3 Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP3) by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
