About   

Do the rivers and streams in your watershed run Red? Orange, maybe? Yellow? How about black? Chalk White? Are they crystal clear without a fish in site? AMD disguises itself in many colors across PA. Do you want to better understand what the colors say about your watershed? Join us at the 2003 AMD/AMR Conference as we pose the question to all of you…

“What Color Is Your Watershed?”

The conference topics include ways to leverage funds for projects using grant programs including the PA DCNR Rivers Conservation Planning Grants, PA DEP Watershed Restoration Planning Grants, and several federal programs OSM and EPA. Bring your AMD Water Chemistry, Flow Measurements, and Site Characterizations for your potential projects (see page 6) and people will be on hand to help you "Decipher the Drainage". Learn more about the passive treatment systems that might fit your AMD. There’s lots more planned including local tours, workshops, teacher training activities, and music for entertainment.

Scholarships will be available to offset travel costs for eligible participants from non-profit organizations and watershed associations.
