🌟Staff Spotlight 🌟

As the Erosion & Sedimentation (E&S) Program Manager, Adam is tasked with leading the E&S Department alongside the E&S Technical Manager. The team implements the Chapter 102 regulatory program in Lancaster County. This section of the PA Code regulates earth disturbance activities (construction, redevelopment, etc.) in order to protect our waterways from the detrimental effects of sediment and stormwater runoff. Some days this means reviewing plans in the office and other days it means going out for inspections to verify that construction sites are following applicable regulations.
Adam appreciates the opportunity to work for the benefit of the residents of Lancaster County. Chapter 102 isn't always flashy, but it's essential to minimizing our impact on the water that flows through our communities. He holds a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Messiah College. He is also a Certified Professional in Erosion & Sediment Control (CPESC) and a Certified Erosion, Sediment, & StormWater Inspector (CESSWI).

Did somebody say ice cream? Staff were put to the test to find the best ice cream through a blind taste test. See the results for yourself! 🍦

Did any of these rankings surprise you? Where should we sample ice cream next?

The BMP of the month for July is Conservation Crop Rotation! Conservation crop rotation is growing a sequence of crops in the same field for a variety of conservation purposes. A conservation crop rotation usually includes high-residue crops (ex. corn and wheat) grown in rotation with low-residue crops (ex. soybeans). Rotating high-residue crops with low-residue crops helps protect from soil loss due to the increased amount of crop residue covering the soil. Some benefits of using a conservation crop rotation include:
🌾Reduction in sheet, rill, and wind erosion
🌱Improved soil organic matter quality
🌾Improved soil moisture
🌱Reduced plant pest pressure
🌾Improved water quality

The Erosion and Sedimentation Department attended a Legacy Sediment Training Workshop last month held by NRCS in Partnership with LandStudies and the .wi at Franklin & Marshall College. Legacy sediment is soil that was eroded from upland areas after the arrival of early settlers and over the centuries of intensive land uses. The training covered how legacy sediments degrade aquatic resources, how to identify them in the field, and techniques for restoring impacted waterways.

🌟Staff Spotlight 🌟
Kevin started at the District in 2006 as an Ag Conservation Technician, covering East Donegal, West Donegal, Conoy, and Mount Joy Townships. He served as the Assistant Ag Program Manager before moving into the Ag Program Manager position in 2021. He enjoyed working directly with farmers to implement conservation on their farms and at times misses that field role, but he appreciates the behind the scenes work that it takes to maintain the integrity of programs so that the staff can be of the most benefit to the ag community and the natural resources of Lancaster County. As the Ag Program Manager he oversees the Ag department with 17 staff members, various delegated programs including Act 38 Nutrient Management and Chesapeake Bay Program, and assists other Ag staff with managing ACAP & CEG cost share programs. Kevin also conducts CAP project verifications and still works with a limited number of farmers with Act 38 NMP reviews and annual visits. He also reviews District written Ag E&S Plans.

Kevin graduated from PSU with a B.S. in Wildlife & Fisheries Science in 2004. 🦁
