CWC is looking for funds for a permanent easement and to restore riparian buffer zones along the waterway. More information can be obtained on the website
from the site:
Slab Cabin Run flows through the Meyer and Everhart farmland. This 11.2 mile stream flows from Tussey Mountain south of Pine Grove Mills, into Spring Creek and eventually feeds into the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. Slab Cabin Run is a degraded trout stream in need of restoration efforts. A portion of the stream flows through 21 acres of the Meyer property, making it possible for ClearWater to implement restoration efforts on the stream once the easement is in place.
In the Spring Creek watershed, limestone geology creates a strong interconnection between surface water and groundwater resources. Large springs consistently provide over 85% of the surface water we see flowing through Spring Creek and its tributaries, sustaining a thriving trout population. Recent studies have suggested that increases in impervious ground cover (such as parking lots, sidewalks, or roadways) directly impact coldwater fisheries. This can be attributed to precipitation being warmed before running off into our streams.
