UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) Small streams are natural
treasures, supplying some of our
cleanest and healthiest water and
feeding larger trout streams and
rivers. Managing these small
streams properly helps protect and
improve the environment, said an
aquatic ecologist in Penn State's
College of Agriculture.
"People shouldn't be too quick
to ‘clean out* their small streams,"

streams "clean" themselves, Pratt
said.
"When sewage or chemicals
enter a stream, the microbes func
tion like a small treatment plant,
feeding on the pollution."
Bacteria, molds and protozoa
also feed on leaves, wood scraps
and debris that fall into the stream.
Microbes and the small leaf frag
ments left behind are eaten by lar
ger organisms such as insects and
fish.
An important way to care for a
small stream is to leave intact piles
of brush and logs that clog it
"These little dams help the stream
and the environment in several
ways," Pratt said. "Even insecti
cides and other chemicals can be
broken down in small streams
when the water pools up."

"These pools slow the water
flow during rainstorms and stop
contaminants, such as manure and
fertilizer, from washing downs
tream." When water is retained
behind debris dams, silt and sedi
ment settle out In turn, the
nutrient-rich silt helps feed the
microbes that break down leaves,
pollutants and debris.
Pratt said this process also pro
duces more and better food for fish
in the stream.
"Holding back the water even
slightly gives nutrients more time
to be absorbed by algae and other
stream organisms that the fish feed
on," he said.

Damming also holds back
damaging storm water. "The ener
gy of water rushing downhill is
diminished by the little debris
dams," Platt said. "This keeps the
stream from cutting deeper into the
ground and keeps the stream chan
nel stable.
"Removing debris from a
stream, particularly with heavy
equipment, can cause erosion and
other problems. This erosion can
undercut culverts and bridge abut
ments, slump stream banks and
destroy cross-stream fencing."
Pratt said that very large debris
dams that cause flooding should be
thinned, but not completely
destroyed.
