REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Alternative Restoration Plan for the Baken Creek Watershed in Perry County.
Central Office: Bureau of Clean Water, P.O. Box 8774, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will accept comments on the proposed Alternative Restoration Plan (ARP) developed for the Baken Creek Watershed in Perry County. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were listed as being caused by excessive siltation due to removal of riparian vegetation. By restoring this watershed, it is hoped to not only improve water quality locally, but also to improve conditions within the downstream areas of Shermans Creek. Shermans Creek is noted for its ''exceptional value'' and ''high quality'' existing uses as well hosting a historic, and perhaps extant, hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) population.
The ARP approach was chosen as a temporary alternative to the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). An ARP is currently a better option for this watershed because it not only sets a pollution reduction goal, but it also lays out a comprehensive plan for restoration. DEP plans on partnering with the Perry County Conservation District as primary stakeholders to implement the plan. Funding is proposed to be sought under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act among other sources. If the restoration plan fails to result in delisting of the siltation impairments, a TMDL per section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act would be needed in the future.
Currently, there are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to propose an allowable load per the narrative criteria. The allowable load included allocations for natural sources, nonpoint pollution sources, as well as an uncertainty factor. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land, and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the allowable load were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading within the watershed, the prescribed allowable load value and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.

Key BMPs included agricultural erosion and sedimentation plan implementation, use of precision grass filter strips along drainageways, streambank stabilization/restoration, the use of conservation tillage and the use of riparian buffers.
