Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Watershed Education and Protection

Activities or mission (Part I)

Watershed Education and Protection for the White Clay Creek and its Tributaries.

Water Quality Improvement Projects: Water quality improvement project administration, planning, and implementation. Outputs include a community GSI plan, a watershed restoration and assessment plan, the design and implementation of agricultural and stormwater best management practices, land stewardship, and watershed research, including a study on fish passage in the lower stem.

Expenses $160,672
Catch the Rain: Continued work on the Catch the Rain program, a green stormwater infrastructure rebate program for residential property owners in the White Clay watershed. This fiscal year generated 20+ site visits and reports, and residential rebates were awarded for conservation landscaping, rain barrels, rain gardens, and tree planting practices. An independent contractor was hired in October 2022 to manage the program.

Expenses $43,380 · Grants $13,638
Streamwatch: The mission of the Streamwatch program is to increase citizen community engagement in water resource protection and improve knowledge of stream conditions based on measured stream data. Six fixed sites are monitored monthly for nutrients and chlorides. Conductivity and water temperature are measured by hand while on site. Six sites have new HOBO water temperature sensors for continuous readings. We continue to improve our data management program by working with a citizen scientist. Data is provided to state regulatory agencies, PADEP and DNREC, every two years.

Expenses $28,121
Bacteria Research: Partnered with Stroud Water Research Center to continue sampling White Clay Creek for E. coli, fecal coliform, and enterococcus at 30 sites (20 in PA/10 in DE) during the 2023 recreational season. Data is provided to state regulatory agencies, PADEP and DNREC, every two years. A more extensive study is being conducted on a tributary with ongoing sewer repairs. This includes recreational sampling and off-season sampling, as well as microbial source tracking.

Expenses $20,640
Land Preservation: Support for Natural Lands in their outreach and planning efforts to preserve and enhance land in the White Clay Watershed. Specifically, a 15-acre parcel in Franklin Township was preserved.

Expenses $19,370
Christina Watershed Municipal Partnership: Technical assistance and planning support to municipalities to advance understanding of watershed needs and opportunities concerning regulatory requirements. Liaison and unified representation, coordination, and communication with regulatory agencies on behalf of municipal concerns. Annual workshops are provided to participating municipalities to enhance their knowledge of municipal stormwater solutions and regulations. The University of Pennsylvania Water Center is contracted to assist with this partnership.

Expenses $19,221
Community Outreach: Manage whiteclay.org website and social media. Provide educational presentations throughout the year about work in the watershed to multiple audiences. Update outreach display and activity for public events. Work with community advocates to conduct outreach in Avondale Borough regarding flooding impacts.

Expenses $9,241
Creekfest: White Clay Creek Fest, our largest outreach event, is hosted with Delaware State Parks at White Clay Creek State Park every May. The mission of Creek Fest is to increase community awareness of the valuable natural and historic resources of the White Clay Creek Valley.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
