In 1998, PA DEP listed 67 miles of Warrior Run for siltation and flow problems. 26 years later, 8.5 miles were delisted after farmers and agencies improved water quality

Warrior Run water quality has improved after years of work across Pennsylvanias agricultural watershed. In 1998, the state listed 67 miles for siltation and flow problems. Now, 8.5 miles have been removed from the impaired list. Farmers, conservation groups and agencies helped reduce sediment and improve water conditions. The change took 26 years, but it offers a clear example of how steady conservation can restore damaged streams.
