Pennsylvania is receiving more than $3 million in federal funding for watershed restoration projects. Conservation groups said it will help the state get back on track to meet its Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Blueprint goals. The funds will go toward restoration plans for both the Pequea and Halfmoon Creek watersheds, to reduce nutrients and sediment impairing creeks and streams. .
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is awarding a $631,000 grant to Peters Township for the planned aquatic center.
