PA1012-46 - FY 1998 EPA GRANT PROJECT

Lake Management Program - During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. continued work on the organization of the lake management seminar.

Citizen and Township Questionnaires – During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. began preparing a questionnaire for Township officials, Township Engineers, and the public regarding stormwater regulations in their township.

Assistance to Communities – During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. added the LWWMD site to key search engines on the web, made changes to the new logs for the LWWMD letterhead and emailed to Karen, received a call from Karen regarding the logo, made an additional change to the logo, tested, and emailed logo back to Karen.

Project Documentation - During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. prepared the monthly progress report for this project.

PA1012-52 - FY 1999 EPA GRANT

Water Quality Problem Area Identification - During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. made revisions to the ranking sheet based on comments from the LWWMD Board. We re-ranked the projects based on the revised ranking system.

Pellett Road – F. X. Browne, Inc. talked to Karen Mandeville about this possible
BMP site. We obtained background information regarding a previous site visit and design constraints, and we obtained a map of the site and faxed it to Karen.

Gumble Brothers Site - F. X. Browne, Inc. met with Fred Schoenagle at his office to discuss this possible BMP site. We obtained mapping from Fred, and we discussed constructed wetlands and a bioretention system as options to promote infiltration and water quality treatment of stormwater at this site. The Gumble Brothers are planning to construct a detention basin for this project; therefore the money that they are planning for this work will be used as match for this project. Our design will enhance their detention basin plan to promote water quality treatment of the stormwater runoff from their yard.

Keating Farm – F. X. Browne, Inc. visited the farm site to evaluate the potential for BMP installation. We met Karen Mandeville at the site, obtained background information from Karen, took pictures at the site, logged pictures, contacted Ken Harvey (NRCS) to discuss the previous work on this project, and we ranked the project using the revised ranking sheet.

Watershed Investigations - During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. continued organizing problem areas that were identified in the field.

Project Management and Documentation - During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. prepared the progress report for the project

PA1012-55 - LWWMD GROWING GREENER PROJECT

During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. evaluated optional locations for the monitoring station to be located on the Main Branch Wallenpaupack Creek. Justin Hoffmann conducted field investigations to evaluate alternative sites. We then provided Karen Mandeville with information for determining the property owner. This site is located just upstream of the Auther property. After Karen determined the property owner, Justin Hoffmann called the property owner and discussed the project in detail with him. The property owner appears to be willing to allow access to his property for the sampler. The site is located near both electric and phone service

PA1012-56 2002 LAKE WALLENPAUPACK WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROJECT

During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. continued work on evaluating the 2002 data and began work on the 2002 Update Report.

PA1012-58 BMPs

During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. worked on the design of the Krautter Farm BMP (Billing Group 002) and the Wallenpaupack Lake Estates swale project (Billing Group 003). We conducted two telephone conversations with Ken Harvey to obtain background information and survey information for the project. We obtained design information from NRCS about the ag-waste facility design for the project. We reviewed the background information and modified for site-specific needs, and we began detailed design and drafting of the structural plans of the ag-waste facility. Additionally, we began the design of details for the pole structure.

We contacted John Carney to determine the status of the WLE swale project. We obtained all background information form the previous work that has been completed for this project, and we evaluated the drawings to determine if they were bid-ready. We reviewed all previous calculations for quality control purposes

PA1012-59 2003 GENERAL ENGINEERING

During the month of January 2003, F. X. Browne, Inc. prepared for and attended the January 2003 LWWMD Board meeting.

PA1012-60 2003 LAKE WALLENPAUPACK WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROJECT

F. X. Browne, Inc. coordinated the January 2003 sampling event for Lake Wallenpaupack. We collected surface, middle, and bottom water samples for chemical analysis at Station #3 on January 23, 2003. Sampling was conducted through 8 inches of ice on the lake. In addition, we collected samples for chlorophyll a analysis phytoplankton and zooplankton analysis. We collected temperature and dissolved oxygen profile data at Station #3. We transported the samples to our laboratory in Marshalls Creek and analyzed the samples for total phosphorus, dissolved reactive phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, total suspended solids, fecal coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci bacteria, alkalinity (surface samples only), and pH. Attachment A contains a copy of the January 2003 water quality monitoring results.
