PAGE 12 Sunday, March 6, 2011 THE DALLAS POST Grants will help Harveys Lake control storm water runoff Back Mountain municipalities may be looking at a way to control the quantity of storm water runoff, but Harveys Lake Borough recent- ly received federal and state grants to control its storm water quality. Council member and engineer Ryan Doughton said Harveys Lake recently received two grants total- ing more than $800,000 to remove pollutants found in storm water runoff. “It’s part of a storm water man- agement plan to reduce heavy metals, phosphorus, suspended solids and some other things listed for water quality,” he said. The concrete units installed catch storm water runoff and set- tle out the materials before they flow into the lake. The plan also includes imple- menting four floating wetlands in the lake. The grant application states “wetland islands are an aes- thetically pleasing, ecologically friendly means of reducing in-lake nutrient concentrations originat- ing from NPS (non-point source) pollution.” Wetlands would be created us- ing recycled plastic material plant- ed with native species in order to increase nutrient uptake. A watershed implementation plan was also funded by the grant in order to determine what actions needed to be taken in the borough to control the quality of storm wa- ter runoff. “I think the main thing is that Harveys Lake is the state’s largest natural lake and, rightly so, every- body’s very concerned about the water quality of the lake,” he said. “Everything goes into the lake and goes down Harveys Creek and I think the main concern, the main thing that’s different is that we have a lake to protect.” Doughton believes storm water is a concern for residents because of the lake but says there haven’t been a lot of storm water problems in the borough. He said the goal is to improve the quality of water in the lake and ward off future prob- lems. According to the grant applica- tion, the funded projects should be completed no later than Septem- ber 2013. - Sarah Hite BUILDING Continued from Page 1 across their yard. We just have to have the newer homes doing it.” Eck said this could get muddy for some residents, and certain precautions will need to be taken to deal with the excess water. “You may need to have rocks at the end of the rain leaders there to slow it down, to dis- perse the water as opposed to having it discharge directly onto the grass,” he said. “They even have an area where, depending on the size of the roof, you may have to dig a pit on your proper- ty and allow your rain leaders to run into that pit where it will slowly discharge.” Enforcement and funding are also concerns of some municipal officials. John Wilkes Jr. of Jack- son Township said even though the township has been following storm water regulations for years, this new ordinance will make it difficult for the munici- pality to have authority over how storm water is regulated. “It is so comprehensive — there is so much in there that we can’t do as a municipality,” he said. “It makes it more difficult and cost- ly.” Wilkes said enlisting the ser- vices of a professional engineer on all projects, including the construction of small homes, is an unfunded aspect of the state mandate. “Right now we don’t have the money to spend, but we have no alternative,” he said. Other municipalities are devis- ing ways for dealing with the ex- cess costs, from using permit ap- plication costs to putting the burden on new homeowners. Doughton said Dallas Town- ship may have the third party in- spector be responsible for en- forcing the new storm water management plan in smaller pro- jects, a cost that will be passed on to the property owner. “We're not sure yet,” he said. “We're still in our infancy with this.” Harveys Lake Borough Coun- cil member Ryan Doughton said he’s not entirely sure who would be responsible for ensuring resi- dents are following the rules. “It would be hard to have an engineer go out who you would have to pay a substantial sum of money and charge a homeowner to have an engineer come out for storm water management,” he said. “The second problem is that if you don’t have an engi- neer do it, what town employee is really qualified to oversee this?” Dallas Township has already passed its new storm water man- agement ordinance, and others are expected to follow suit at their March meetings. re SARAH HITE/THE DALLAS POST Tommy Boyle, 16, of Shavertown, Sarah Bedford, 16, of Hunlock Creek, and Kristen Boyle, 17, of Sha- vertown, presented their History Day project about the Prohibition era at the Lake-Lehman Junior- Senior High School on Feb. 28. HISTORY Continued from Page 1 “It looks like old paper on pur- pose,” she said. “We used scrap- book paper.” Bedford, 16, of Hunlock Creek, also ventured to local stores to give the exhibit a hands-on touch, discovering medicine bot- tles from the 19th century at a Tunkhannock antique dealer. “They used to prescribe alco- hol for illnesses,” she said. While it only took them three days to assemble the exhibit, the group spent months working on research and the other require- ments for the project. “We spent a lot of late nights on the project,” said Tommy. And while the Prohibition era may be long gone, the students were surprised to uncover inter- esting facts about the time peri- od, and how it still affects the country today. “I know Sweet Valley is a dry city or whatever you would call it,” said Bedford. Novrocki thinks the project is a good experience for students to reflect upon in the future, and its benefits are worth the time in- volved - and a large percentage of their third-quarter grades. “It gives them real life experi- ences, such as with senior pro- jects and job interviews,” he said. “We've had students come back and say that it helped them and that they had a great experience with it.” Bedford hopes so — she’s look- ing to major in political science when she gets to college. “I'm really into learning and I read all the time,” said Bedford. “The work was not a total down- er — it was telling a story in that time period.” PEOPLE BRIEFS Redinski has essay published A memoir titled “Repeat” by Nicole Redinski, of Shavertown, was recently published in Essay, a campus literary magazine at Susquehanna University.
