   Certification Request Initiated By:  Philadelphia Suburban Water Company, 762 W. Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-3489.

   Project Description/Location:  This project involves the maintenance dredging of Lower Crum Reservoir on Crum Creek on Springfield Township, Delaware County. Approximately 30,000 cubic yards (average of less than 2 feet of sediment) of material will be removed from the bottom of the reservoir over the 10 acre area of open water from the dam to a point about 600 feet upstream. It is also proposed that a channel will be cut through an island of sediment which has developed at the upstream end of the open water in order to direct flow through what has become a stagnant backwater area of the reservoir. This proposed dredging activity follows emergency weed removal and dredging performed in June 1996 to remove sediments related to taste and odor problems in finished drinking water at the Crum Creek water treatment plant.
