DlO-Lancaster Fanning Saturday, Inm 14,1956 Susquehanna River Celebration To Examine Stated Bay Connection HARRISBURG - Did you know that during the ice age, the Chesapeake Bay was the Susquehanna River? Or that even today, the Susquehanna supplies 51 percent of the fresh water entering the Bay? At the 1966 Susquehanna River Celebration on June 14 at River front Park, these and many more facts about the Susquehanna and Chesapeake can be learned. Education about the Susquehanna- Chesapeake connection is especially important since scientists recently discovered that pollution from the Susquehanna is contributing significantly to the bay’s decline. A major problem was found to be fertilizer and manure runoff from Pennsylvania agricultural lands. Displays and expertise about the bay will be provided by the Citizens Program for the Chesapeake Bay, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Department of Environmental Resources’ Bay Trivia Quiz Board and Mobile Nutrient Lab, the Dauphin County Conservation District, the Soil Conservation Service’s Farming for a Cleaner Chesapeake display and others.
