Chester County Conservation Honors Group WEST CHESTER (Chester Co.) Chester County’s conservation district and the Homeßuilders Association of Chester and Delaware counties continued their professional partnership in protecting the environment. For the third year, the Excellence in Conservation Award went to a project completed by a development group, The Hankin Group, that has worked with the district on a variety of county projects. This development group helped the dis trict in 1988 in organizing the first training sessions on erosion control. Dan Greig, district manager, said the 1999 award is given to The Hankin Group for the stream restoration of Lionville Run in West Whiteland Township. The Hankin Group is developing Chan dler Tract. Lionville Run had been rerouted SO yards or so from its original channel to the perimeter of the property. With assistance from Trout Unlimited and West Chester Fish and Game Association members John Johnson and Carl Du sinberre, The Hankin Group decided to re store the original stream. West Chester Fish and Game were con cerned because Lionville Run flows into West Valley Creek, where the club has a fish nursery. BioHabitats, a stream resto ration consulting firm, was contacted to look at the details of the stream and plant ing. Stream restoration best management practices include root wad revetments, vortex rock weirs, rock cross vanes, mean ders, and riffles. About 1,500 trees, shrubs, and plants were installed to provide bank stabilization and a canopied stream corri dor. Erosion and sediment controls were in corporated into all aspects of the project. Technivate was the excavator for the project. The project, noted the district, withstood the onslaught of Hurricane Floyd with little damage.
