DEP’s Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation turned 12 acres of coal waste and cliffs into a beautiful park that is drawing a community closer together. The men and women responsible for this transformation of Morgan Run Natural Environment Area in Clearfield County were honored with the Appalachian States Award this week. Since coal mining began in PA in the 1700s, 250,000 acres of mine lands were left abandoned. Now, these acres scar Pennsylvania’s landscape with environmental and safety hazards. It’s up to us to reclaim this massive amount of land and return it to a productive condition. DEP is thrilled to see the positive impacts a project like this can make on a community and we look forward to more opportunities like this in the future!
Shapiro Administration Awards $38.76 Million in Grants for Environmental Restoration Projects: https://bit.ly/3ZoHepn
Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced $38.76 million in funding for six environmental restoration projects of abandoned mine lands in the first of three rounds of the 2023 Abandoned Mine Lands and Acid Mine Drainage (AML/AMD) Grant Program. These projects focus on reclaiming abandoned mine land, decreasing abandoned mine drainage, and treating AMD through the construction, operation, and/or maintenance of an AMD treatment facility.
The AML/AMD Grant Program began in the fall of 2022 as a single round with three application rounds planned for 2023 and at least $96 million in funding available through the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The program prioritizes serious human health and safety problems that are a result of abandoned coal mines, as well as treating AMD to continue restoration efforts under the AMD Set-Aside Program. By focusing on operation and maintenance needs or upgrades of AMD treatment systems, the program helps to prevent the loss of restored streams and creates significant water quality improvements that go toward watershed restoration.

Department of Environmental Protection Outlines Plans to Ramp Up PFAS Monitoring Following Report: https://bit.ly/3RndA1P
Following a joint United States Geological Survey (USGS) and DEP study revealing PFAS in surface water across the state, DEP is continuing to take action to address these forever chemicals – ramping up efforts across Pennsylvania to monitor water resources and using the study to develop standards for surface water.
“There is still a great deal to learn about these dangerous ‘forever chemicals.’ Pennsylvania has been a proactive leader in addressing issues related to this emerging contaminant particularly when it comes to drinking water and public safety. This joint venture produced the first study of its kind in the nation, and associates PFAS in surface waters across a state with upstream activities that might be sources of the contaminant. This study has expanded our understanding, and will assist in determining what steps need to be taken in addressing issues associated with this emerging contaminant,” said Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Rich Negrin. “Our findings have already helped, and will continue to help guide DEP’s actions regarding where to focus resources on identifying, tracking, and addressing potential sources of PFAS contamination.”

Shapiro Administration Secures $100 Million from Monsanto to Help Pennsylvanians Impacted by Environmental Damages: bit.ly/3EzcjNB
The Shapiro Administration has secured $100 million through a consent agreement with the Monsanto Company, Solutia INC., and Pharmacia LLC to resolve claims related to their production of products containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which damaged waterways and other natural resources across Pennsylvania.
PCBs, which Congress banned in 1979, are a group of man-made organic chemicals consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. PCBs have no known taste or smell, and range in consistency from an oil to a waxy solid. PCBs can accumulate in the leaves and above-ground parts of plants and food crops. They are also taken up into the bodies of small organisms and fish. As a result, people who ingest fish may be exposed to PCBs that have bioaccumulated in the fish they are ingesting.
“The Department has spent years protecting Pennsylvanians from PCBs,” said DEP Secretary Rich Negrin. “By securing this settlement, DEP is holding Monsanto accountable for what it did to Pennsylvania’s water and making sure that Monsanto is paying for the work the Commonwealth has done to keep its water clean. This agreement demonstrates our commitment to protecting the rights and resources of all Pennsylvanians.”

DEP hosted a virtual roundtable with environmentalists honoring the late scientist, ecologist, editor, writer, and Pennsylvania native Rachel Carson for her classic environmental literary work, “Silent Spring.” Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published in 1962, helping to usher in the modern environmental movement and making environmental concerns and issues known to the public. Carson, born in southwestern Pennsylvania, was a scientist who took to writing and was able to communicate the importance of environmental protection for all communities. DEP hosted the roundtable to commemorate Carson’s significant contributions to the field of environmental protection and her groundbreaking book, “Silent Spring.” “Rachel Carson’s contributions to science, through acute observations, are appreciated by all who serve each day to continue her legacy of protecting the environment,” said DEP Acting Secretary Ramez Ziadeh. “I am excited to have participated in an event to celebrate such an important Pittsburgher and environmentalist,” said DEP Office of Environmental Justice Southwest Regional Coordinator Ngani Ndimbie, who participated in the event. Dr. Linda Lear, who participated in the roundtable, is a Rachel Carson historian who has studied Carson’s work for years. Lear wrote the foreword that appears in updated editions of “Silent Spring” and authored “Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature.” “History has shown that Rachel was right,” said Lear. Another participant, Dr. Patricia DeMarco, said she utilizes Carson’s “environmental ethic and principles of science-based policy” in her work and has been influenced to “living in harmony with nature.” DeMarco is the author of the forthcoming book, “In the Footsteps of Rachel Carson,” to be published next year, and has led the Rachel Carson Homestead Association, and then the Rachel Carson Institute at Chatham University (where Carson studied), and co-produced “The Power

Pennsylvania Department of Health Reports First Human Cases of West Nile Virus in Pennsylvania in 2022, Recommends All PA Residents Minimize Exposure to Mosquitoes: https://bit.ly/3cn3qvH “Detecting the first human case serves as a reminder for Pennsylvanians to take the proper precautions when they are outside or near areas where mosquitoes are prevalent,” Acting Secretary of Health and Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson said. “There are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones from mosquito-related diseases.” Although mosquitoes can bite at any time of the day or night, the mosquitoes that transmit WNV are most active at dawn and dusk. When outdoors, people can avoid mosquito bites by properly and consistently using DEET-containing insect repellents and covering exposed skin with lightweight clothing. To keep mosquitoes from entering a home, make sure window and door screens are in place and are in good condition. DEP conducts regular surveillance and control to manage mosquito populations around the state. As of July 15, 2022, DEP and county vector programs have detected 68 WNV-infected mosquito pools in 19 counties. “DEP monitors the mosquito population across Pennsylvania,” said Acting DEP Secretary Ramez Ziadeh. “Today’s announcement serves as a reminder that all Pennsylvanians should take precautions to protect against mosquitoes. Using a personal insect repellant or staying indoors during dawn and dusk will help prevent exposure to mosquitoes.”

A brand-new, state-of-the-art high school now occupies former abandoned mine lands on 25 acres in Plains Township, Luzerne County. The old Prospect Colliery site once employed thousands of miners and produced much of the coal used in northeast Pennsylvania. Now Wilkes-Barre Area High School calls it home. DEP gave first approval for construction of the high school on the site in April of 2017. The state also provided a $1 million Industrial Sites Reuse grant. Before construction could begin, DEP worked with the school district on a plan to relocate thousands of tons of coal ash from the site, and close off a former mine opening. A new type of technique known as “dynamic compaction” was used to stabilize the ground and cover the former mine land. Nearly four years later, very little signs of coal mining exist. The school affords students modern classrooms, a place for STEM learning, a modern auditorium and gymnasium, plus plenty of outdoor open space for learning. DEP is proud to have partnered with Wilkes-Barre Area School District on this land reclamation and educational investment.
