Rendell Signs Moratorium On More State Forest Land Drilling, After Leasing 137,000

Acres

Gov. Rendell this week signed an executive order protecting

Pennsylvania's state forests from any new natural gas development

activities that would disturb the surface of these areas andjeopardize fragile ecosystems.

Under Gov. Rendell's tenure, the Department of

Conservation and Natural Resources leased over 137,000 acres of

State Forest land for Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling. Almost

all of the proceeds from the leases so far have gone to balancing the state budget, not to

conservation or environmental programs.

The Governor said a recent and extensive evaluation of the state forest system conducted

by DCNR over a period of seven months found that any additional leases could endanger the

environmental quality and character of these tracts and pose a risk to Pennsylvania's existing

certification that it manages its forests in a sustainable manner, which is important for the state's

nearly $6 billion forest products industry.

Gov. Rendell added the executive order was necessary now given the state Senate's

failure to act on House Bill 2235 (Vitali-D-Delaware), which would have instituted a moratorium

on state forest land leases. The legislation passed the House with bipartisan support in early May,

but has seen not action in the Senate.

"Drilling companies' rush to grab private lands across the state has left few areas

untouched by this widespread industrial activity," said Gov. Rendell. "We need to protect our un-

leased public lands from this rush because they are the most significant tracts of undisturbed

forest remaining in the state. The House led the way to protect these lands, but the Senate failed

to do so. That's why it's clear we need this executive order."Failing to protect these acres will significantly alter the ecological integrity and the wild

character of our state forest system. That would devastate our ecotourism industry and jeopardize

the green certification upon which the state's forest products industry depends."

Currently, 700,000 acres of Pennsylvania's 2.2 million-acre state forest are available for

natural gas extraction. When completely developed over the next 30 years, these leased lands

will include about 1,000 well pads and as many as 10,000 wells, which, along with the associated

roadways and infrastructure, could disturb as much as 30,000 acres of the land already under

lease.

Approximately 1.5 million acres of state forest lands sits atop the natural gas-rich

Marcellus Shale formation. The remaining 800,000 acres that have not been made available for

natural gas development contain significant environmental, ecotourism, and recreational values,

including:-- 180,000 acres of high-value ecosystems designated as wild and natural areas;

-- 200,000 acres of old-growth forests;

-- 128,000 acres with sensitive environmental resources (wetlands, riparian areas, threatened and

endangered species, steep slopes, unique habitats) and valuable recreational resources (scenic

vistas and viewsheds, trails, leased camps);

-- 299,000 acres in remote areas generally inaccessible by motorized vehicles and offering

wilderness experiences paralleling those in the western United States;

-- 88,000 acres of highly valued recreational and water resources in the Poconos in close

proximity to many residents; and

-- 20,000 acres important to ecotourism in the Laurel Highlands region.

"The moratorium is important to the state's economy because it protects some of our mostvaluable assets," said Gov. Rendell. "Countless people enjoy our state forests for recreation,

which draws tourism dollars into the state, and our lumber industry needs the assurance of

knowing we're going to responsibly manage these resources to protect jobs in that industry.

"After I sign this order into effect, it should remain in place. The stewardship of the

public's forests demands no less," added the Governor. "We simply cannot risk subjecting these

sensitive and high-value tracts to the same kind of environmental accidents and mishaps that

have happened on private lands elsewhere in the state because of the drilling industry's poor

practices."

The Pennsylvania Environmental Council applauded Gov. Rendells

signing of an Executive Order prohibiting additional leasing of State Park

or Forest land for oil and gas development.

The Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, under the

leadership of Secretary John Quigley, has done a courageous job of

managing mandated leasing of State Forest land over the last two yearssaid Don Welsh, President and CEO of PEC. Unfortunately the focus on

generating revenue trumped the landmark conservation legacy of our state

lands most of which reflect more than a century of public and private

investment and bipartisan effort to restore our natural resources and public

places. We have lost sight of that tremendous legacy too soon in the face of budget shortfalls.

More than 700,000 acres of State Forest land are available for leasing for natural gas

development. In fact last years state budget included mandated revenue target levels from such

leasing, with the majority of the revenues being used to help balance the states General Fund.

Resource development on state lands should be driven by science and sound

management, not solely by the need for revenue commented Welsh.

The Governor also called for the General Assembly to meet its pledge to pass a naturalgas severance tax in the current legislative session. PEC supports a fair and reasonable

severance tax that directs the majority of its revenue to protect and restore the environment, help

communities address impacts from escalating extraction activity, and to support the Department

of Environmental Protection and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as they

manage natural gas operations.

Said Welsh: The General Assembly and Governor must meet their commitment in law;

the options and opportunities are there if theyre willing to make the effort. They owe it to the

citizens of Pennsylvania to do what it takes to see this through.

"Finally, your readers may be interested to know that there have actually been three

leases of state forest land for Marcellus Shale development, not two. The Post Gazette report

omits the $120 million, no bid private lease agreement entered into between Governor Rendell

and Anadarko earlier this spring.

"By providing details of Governor Rendells proposals and comparing them to

ambiguous generalities of a competing plan, the Post Gazettes readers are deprived of theiropportunity to make an informed opinion. I urge the Post Gazette to be more thorough in its

future reporting."

Bills On Governor's Desk

The following bill was given final action by the General Assembly and is now on the Governor's

Desk for action--

Borough Electric Purchases: Senate Bill 168 (Brubaker-R-Lancaster) further authorizing

electric purchases by boroughs was signed into law as Act 87.

"The Borough Code gives a borough the right to provide electric service to its residents,

but it did not give these municipalities the authority to fully leverage their purchasing power,"

Sen. Brubaker said. "This new law will allow boroughs to negotiate the best possible deal to

provide lower energy costs to consumers. A number of talented and dedicated individuals helped

to make this change to the Borough Code possible, and I am deeply grateful for their efforts."

Energy Production On Farmland: Senate Bill 298 (Yaw-R-Bradford) amends the Farmland

and Forest Land Assessment Act to allow the splitting off of preserved farm and forest lands

used for alternative energy systems and natural gas and coal bed methane was signed into law byGov. Rendell as Act 88.

"This legislation is a critical update to how our farmland is to be assessed now and in the

future. The development of the Marcellus Shale has changed how everything is looked at as it is

a total transition to what used to be 'business as usual' on all levels of government," said Sen.

Yaw. "All laws of this nature need to be scrutinized to see if they are applicable in today's world

in keeping with the original spirit of the law and then changed if necessary."

As an agriculture economy, Clean and Green plays an important role for

Pennsylvanias family farmers, especially as it relates to the development of their privately-

owned minerals," said Kathryn Klabor of the Marcellus Shale Coalition. "These commonsense

revisions to the Clean and Green Program, led by Sen. Gene Yaw, are a win-win for our

agriculture community and for responsible Marcellus development in the Commonwealth. The

entire general assembly and the governor should be commended for their work on this importantbipartisan legislation.

Blight: Senate Bill 900 (Argall-R-Schuylkill) establishing the Neighborhood Blight Reclamation

and Revitalization Act was signed into law as Act 90.

"My goal was to see this important bipartisan bill signed into law this session," said Sen.

Argall. "This is a major victory for municipalities throughout Pennsylvania who have been

impacted by abandoned or dilapidated properties. These eyesores leave a black mark on our

communities that many times are difficult to eliminate.

"The Statewide Blight Task Force, my colleagues in the House, Senate and Governor's

Administration deserve a great deal of credit for their hard work and commitment to this effort,"

Sen. Argall added.

DCNR, DEP Establish New Gas Well Development Permit Policy For State Parks, Forests

The departments of Conservation and Natural Resources and Environmental Protection this week

announced a new policy which establishes clear procedures for evaluating the impacts of oil and

gas drilling on state park and forest land as part of DEP's standard well-permitting process.

Because the Commonwealth does not own the mineral rights to 80 percent of state park

land and about 15 percent of state forest land, DCNR Secretary John Quigley said this joint

policy will provide another measure of protection to Pennsylvania's state-owned natural

resources. Sixty state parks are located above the gas-rich Marcellus Shale formation.

"To manage development of oil and gas drilling where the commonwealth does not own

the mineral rights, we needed a formal process in place to ensure that natural gas well operatorsproperly coordinate with DCNR," DEP Secretary John Hanger said. "This will help us determine

the impacts of proposed oil and gas wells on state parks and forests before they submit their well

permit applications to DEP."

"Coordination is especially important on the areas of our state parks and forests where

DCNR does not have the controls that would be put in place by a lease agreement," Secretary

Quigley said.

This new policy dovetails and support DEP's existing practice of considering the impacts

of proposed wells on public natural resources, including state parks and forests, as outlined in

Section 205(c) of the Oil and Gas Act.

The policy, effective immediately, requires well operators to identify all areas of a tract

that will be disturbed by development activities. DCNR will delineate, with assistance from the

well operator, any areas of concern and recommend measures to minimize the impacts.Impacts to be considered include: threatened and endangered species habitat; wildlife

corridors; water resources; scenic viewsheds; public recreation areas; wetlands and floodplains;

high-value trees and regeneration areas; avoiding steep slopes; pathways for invasive species; air

quality; noise; and road placement and construction methods.

After coordinating with DCNR, the well operator will submit the DCNR Environmental

Review to DEP as part of a well permit application. An application that does not include

sufficient information to allow DEP to consider the impacts on state park and forest lands will be

considered incomplete.

DCNR will provide a letter if it is in agreement on recommended response measures. If

there is no agreement, DEP may address the concerns with permit conditions.

A copy of the new policy is available online.For more information, visit DCNR's Leasing In State Forests webpage.

DEP Fines Huntley & Huntley Inc. For July 23 Gas Well Tank Explosion

The Department of Environmental Protection has imposed a $32,000 penalty against Huntley &

Huntley Inc. of Monroeville, Allegheny County, stemming from a July 23 tank explosion at a gas

well site in which two people died.

The civil penalty is part of a consent order and agreement to resolve violations of the Oil

and Gas Act and the Solid Waste Management Act.

An oil storage tank at the company's Murray Heirs #6 gas well site, located in IndianaTownship, Allegheny County, exploded on July 23, releasing small amounts of oil and other

liquids and causing the well head and nearby production facilities to catch fire. The tank that

exploded was propelled into the air, landing about 150 feet away from the well head.

Killed were two employees of Northeast Energy Management Inc. of Indiana, Indiana

County, who were performing welding repairs on the 210-barrel oil storage tank. Northeast

Energy Management was under contract to perform the repairs.

"Companies that own and operate oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania have an obligation to

ensure those sites function properly and have a minimal impact on the environment," DEP

Secretary John Hanger said. "The explosion destroyed the production equipment, damaged the

well head, ignited a fire, caused a release of small amounts of brine and oil on the ground in the

well containment area and posed a threat to our natural resources and the public."This was a tragic situation and no action we can take will undo the events of that day,"

Secretary Hanger added. "We need to do everything we can, though, to prevent such situations

from happening again."

condition.

The shallow well has produced mostly oil and some gas since 2008.

Huntley & Huntley also agreed to take appropriate measures to ensure that, prior to

performing any welding repair work on a tank located within 100 feet of the company's oil and

gas well heads, company employees or contractors will observe special safety measures bydisconnecting the tank from the well, draining the tank of all liquids, purging the tank of all

combustible gases, testing the tank with a calibrated lower explosives limit meter and recording

the readings.

Marcellus Shale Workforce Resource Center Holds Grand Opening

The Marcellus Shale Workforce Resource Centerofficially opened Thursday with ceremonies

held at Pennsylvania College of Technology.

The center, located inside Penn Colleges Center for Business & WorkforceDevelopment, provides a centralized location for industry, students and the public to obtain

information regarding Marcellus Shale workforce-development initiatives.

The center includes the Marcellus Shale Education & Training Center featuring

participation from Penn College and Penn State Cooperative Extension which has provided

workforce development, assessment and training services since 2008.

The MSETC has completed several workforce assessments and has trained more than

1,000 people in natural gas related courses. The courses have benefited unemployed individuals

seeking a career change, as well as employees who have already been hired by the natural gas

industry.

Also operating at the center is ShaleNET (Eastern Region Hub), supported by a $4.96million U.S. Department of Labor grant and funding recruitment, training and job placement

across the Marcellus Shale footprint. As part of this three-year initiative, a hub located at Penn

College will serve to develop, standardize and coordinate several training courses for individuals

seeking employment in the natural gas industry.

This continues Penn Colleges commitment to support the various workforce-

development needs of the natural gas industry, said Penn College President Davie Jane

Gilmour. As Marcellus Shale activity and the natural gas industry continue to expand and

evolve in our region, Penn College and its strategic partners are committed to providing the

infrastructure and support services required to serve the areas workforce needs.

Staff will be available at the new center to respond to inquiries and the needs of the

public and the natural gas industry regarding workforce assessments, training opportunities, andvarious federal, state and regional initiatives that support the industry.

Penn State Cooperative Extension is proud to be a partner with Penn College to advance

critical workforce assessment and training through the new center, said Craig Weidemann, vice

president for Penn State Outreach. The efforts of the new center complement Penn States

significant research and extension programs addressing the myriad of opportunities and complex

issues centered around the growth of the shale play across the Commonwealth.

According to Larry L. Michael, executive director for workforce and economic

development at Penn College: This new center will provide a centralized point of contact for

natural gas workforce-development initiatives and information. We have many program

offerings, as well as funding, to offset the workforce-training costs associated with training

industry personnel and individuals pursuing a career with this exciting new industry.

As the workforce developing the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania becomes more local,it is even more imperative that the skills necessary to work safely in this industry are obtained

from local educational providers with an in-depth understanding of the training needs necessary

to be successful, said Thomas B. Murphy, co-director of the Marcellus Center for Outreach and

Research at Penn State. The Marcellus Shale Workforce Resource Center is that one-stop

location for the public and will advance the development of the employment build in this

emerging industry in Pennsylvania.

Westmoreland County Conservation Awards Banquet November 11

This years Westmoreland Conservation District annual awards banquet will be held on a new

day Veterans Day, November 11 and at a new location the Fred M. Rogers Center at Saint

Vincent College, Latrobe.

The public is invited to join in this conservation celebration, which begins at 6 p.m. and

includes recognition of two of the areas outstanding conservationists: Wayne and Eileen

Baughman of Salem Township, Conservation Farmers of the Year for 2010and Bob Berich of

South Huntingdon Township, Conservation Farmer of the Year for 2009.

Also featured that evening will be the many partners who are working with the

conservation district on an innovative, community project to install rain gardens in Mount

Pleasant. Those partners include: the Borough of Mount Pleasant, the Department ofEnvironmental Protection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Richard King Mellon

Foundation, and a number of residents of Ramsay Terrace.

We are pleased to be able to honor some of the many people who are doing great things

for conservation in our county, said Greg Phillips, District manager/CEO of the Westmoreland

Conservation District, whose organization works daily with farmers, developers, engineers,

foresters, and other professions to help ensure that our natural resources are used wisely.

Wayne and Eileen Baughman, Conservation Farmers of the Year for 2010, manage a

small farm in Salem Township, where they have a herd of Black Baldy cattle (a cross between

an Angus bull and Hereford cows) and grow a variety of crops, including small grains, hay,

black raspberries, blackberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, and potatoes.

The Baughmans have made a variety of conservation improvements on their propertyover the past five years, adding fencing to keep the cows out of the stream, creating five

paddocks so they can employ rotational grazing, installing roadways and water-runoff systems to

prevent erosion, and using no-till methods to refurbish their pastures and to plant wheat and

soybeans. The conservation work that the Baughmans did adds to the quality of the local stream,

which flows directly into Beaver Run, the source of drinking water for some 50,000 homes and

businesses in Westmoreland County.

Bob Berich, Conservation Farmer of the Year for 2009, also installed a rotational grazing

system on the 50-acre farm he owns in South Huntingdon Township. Bob rotationally grazes his

state-certified Angus beef cattle and the legacy sheep herd that was his fathers, letting the sheep

into a paddock right after the cows have been there to pick out the things that the cattle didnt

eat.

Like the Baughmans, Bob, too, installed streamside fencing and three streamcrossings to limit the access his animals have to the tributary of Meadow Run (Jacobs Creek

Watershed) that flows through his farm.

The Mount Pleasant rain garden project is the featured conservation partnership project

this year. This innovative partnership effort is installing rain gardens in both municipal and

residential locations throughout the borough as a way to help manage excess rainwater and

lessen the load on the municipal infrastructure. So far, rain gardens have been installed in the

municipal parking lot behind Levins furniture store (four gardens at this location), between the

library and municipal building (one rain garden at this location), and on 11 individual

homeowner lots in Ramsay Terrace.

Partners in this innovative project include: the Borough of Mount Pleasant, the

Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, theRichard King Mellon Foundation, and a number of residents of Ramsay Terrace.

The 2010 Annual Awards Banquet is supported by a number of area businesses and

organizations, including lead sponsor Adam Eidemiller, Inc.; and table sponsors Bove

Engineering Co.; Ligonier Construction; Lone Maple Agricultural Services/Pritts Feed Mill/

Azavea Creates Web-Based Support System For Philadelphia's Green Stormwater

Program

Azavea this week announced the launch ofPhillyStormwater.org, a web-based StormwaterBilling application to support the Philadelphia Water Department's Green Stormwater

Management Billing Program.

On July 1, the City of Philadelphia flipped the switch on a new approach to assessing

stormwater management fees that has been under development for over 15 years. As a

consequence, a new billing system is now in place.

Under the new billing methodology, which will gradually be phased in over the next 3

years, non-residential property owners will be charged for stormwater based on the total area of

their property and the amount of impervious surfaces on their property, rather than being based

on the amount of water they use.

The Phillystormwater.org system, developed by Azavea, enables property owners tounderstand how PWD calculates their new stormwater charges, detailing how each component of

the stormwater charge was calculated, how it will be phased in over time, and what steps the

property owner can take to reduce their charges through a credits program for each onsite water

management practice they decide to implement.

The application enables property owners to visualize their property in a high resolution

aerial photography and display the following data: impervious area of their property; gross area

of their property; PWD account information; credits associated with the account; and charge

summary from FY 2011 to FY 2014.

Customers who want to dispute the gross area or impervious area of their parcel can

submit appeals, which are researched and in turn, managed by the PDW staff members through

the PhillyStormwater.org application.Why is the City of Philadelphias new stormwater management program such a

significant move and why can it be qualified as green?

As a city grows and its open spaces are covered with concrete, asphalt and rooftops,

stormwater that might have once been naturally filtered and absorbed by vegetation and soil is

collected by the municipal stormwater system.

In many older cities, the stormwater and the sanitary sewer are combined into a single

system. When there is a storm event, the system outstrips the filtering capacity and the extra

runoff overflows into the rivers, creating significant environmental and health impacts.

The more impervious surface -- parking lots, sidewalks and roofs the more rapidly and

frequently the runoff will result in a combined sewer overflow event. Most municipalities

remediate this issue by building more and larger infrastructure, but for a city the age and size ofPhiladelphia, this would carry a very large price tag.

The Philadelphia Water Department has decided to implement a billing system that aims

to encourage property owners to use onsite green management practices such as retention basins,

trees, green roofs and porous pavement in order to both reduce the amount of impervious

pavement and use soil and vegetation to filter the water.

They hope this new approach will be more environmentally-friendly, lower cost, and

easier to manage. In addition, PWD has also created a program of credits that incentivize owners

to retrofit their properties with onsite stormwater management practices, thus reducing their

stormwater fees.

Philadelphias approach is not unique -- Portland, Oregon has implemented a similar

sustainable stormwater management system -- but Philadelphias program is the largest and mostambitious green stormwater management program in the country.

By 2029, PWD plans to replace at least one third of the City's impervious surfaces with

green stormwater infrastructure. Already a national leader in the design and construction of

green roofs and other urban sustainability practices, the new program is part of Philadelphias

Greenworks Program, an ambitious plan to transform Philadelphia into the greenest city in the

U.S.

By committing the city to managing stormwater with green infrastructure, PWD also

aims to increase recreational opportunities, provide jobs, and improve air quality.

As a B Corporation, we seek out projects that use GIS technology to deliver both new

services and social value. Azavea does work all over the United States, but its thrilling whenwe can make a contribution to a project in our hometown, Philadelphia, that is setting the

standard for innovative ways to better manage our ecosystem, says Robert Cheetham, Azavea

President and CEO.

DCNR Conservation Landscape Initiatives Recognized By Harvard University

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' regional approach to conservinglandscapes to create opportunities for economic development was recently recognized by the

Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University's Bright Ideas Program.

This is the first year for the Program, which is designed to recognize and share creative

government initiatives across the nation with interested public-sector, nonprofit and academic

communities.

"OurConservation Landscape Initiatives are a strategic approach in large, significant

landscapes to help communities protect that sense of place and the natural assets that make them

unique," said DCNR Secretary John Quigley. "These communities powerfully connect

conservation with community economic development. They are placing their natural assets at the

center of their revitalization strategies and are improving the quality of life of their citizens and

attracting new businesses and positioning their communities for sustainable growth."We have had many successes on the ground in the seven regions where we are working,

and we are proud to be recognized through the 'Bright Ideas Program' as a national model for this

type of collaborative work," Secretary Quigley added.

Known informally as CLI, the initiative's seven regions include the north-central

Pennsylvania Wilds; Pocono Forests and Waters; Lehigh Valley Greenways; Schuylkill

Highlands in the southeast; South Mountain in the south-central part of the state; Lower

Susquehanna; and the Laurel Highlands in the southwest.

15/32

The DCNR landscape approach involves working collaboratively with communities and

partners such as park managers, foresters and grant makers on issues like land conservation for

community parks and trails, greenways, trails, habitat protection, forest fragmentation and

sustainable development.

The collaboration help communities protect the places they value, which shapes their

revitalization strategies to take advantage of those natural assets."Understanding that measurement and evaluation are critical learning tools, more than a

year ago we undertook a pair of studies to determine if the CLI approach is effective and how it

could be made better," Secretary Quigley added. "The evaluation shows us that CLIs do

workthat strong partnerships, strategic grant-making, and more meaningful engagement with

citizens do pay off, creating more vibrant communities and increased opportunities for

Pennsylvanians and visitors to connect with the outdoors."

As a specific example, in the Pennsylvania Wilds region, local governments have become

champions for the work, particularly around land use planning.

Tourism and economic development have increased in the region in comparison to other

areas of the state. Overnight leisure travel and visitor spending increased from 2003 to 2007.

Tourism related employment earning and tax revenues also increased over state averages sincethe CLI began in the Pennsylvania Wilds.

While each of the seven designated CLIs has a unique focus and is tailored to the special

features and culture of the landscape they all share these core principles: locally-driven planning;

land conservation; community revitalization; and civic engagement.

Federal officials this week dedicated the Cherry Valley National

Wildlife Refuge, to protect habitat for more than 80 rare species of

plants and animals.

Nearly two years ago, the boundary for the refuge was

drawn to include up to 20,400 acres of land in Monroe and

Northampton counties, which gave the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService authority to start purchasing conservation lands from

willing sellers.

Earlier this month, Mary and Dominick Sorrenti of Sorrenti's Cherry Valley Vineyards

became the first, selling 185 acres to the Service. More than 100 of their 750 fellow landowners

have expressed interest in adding to the refuge in the coming years, while other nearby lands

have already been protected through county, municipal and conservancy programs.

"Cherry Valley is an important part of the Conservancy's work to protect Pennsylvania's

special places, for people and for nature," said The Nature Conservancy's Pennsylvania Chapter

Executive Director Bill Kunze. "This refuge will help protect working farms and a portion of the

Appalachian Trail, as well as habitat for wildlife such as bald eagles and rare wildflowers such as

spreading globeflower."Cherry Valley is only the third national wildlife refuge to be established in Pennsylvania,

and the state's first since 1972. The Sorrenti property, which includes the headwaters of Cherry

Creek, will protect key wetland habitat.

Support for the project was provided by the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, a

program that provides funding for conservation projects nationwide.

Cherry Valley also hosts a breeding population of globally rare cerulean warblers, while

other migratory songbirds can be seen traveling though on their annual migration. Several

species of rare plants are found within the refuge boundary, as well as bobcats, black bear, hawks

and osprey. The valley also hosts a population of federally protected bog turtles.

"We're proud to have been a part of this community effort to protect a place that localpeople love and have long recognized as important," said Bud Cook, Northeast Pennsylvania

Director for the Nature Conservancy. "This land acquisition reinforces what people have always

known in Cherry Valley, that people and wildlife can, indeed, live in harmony with one another."

"Cherry Valley is a model for the President's America's Great Outdoors Initiative," said

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Rowan Gould. "It is an example of how private

citizens and local communities can safeguard the places they care about. The Service is pleased

to be part of the citizen-led partnership that helped create this refuge, and we look forward to

working with our new neighbors to protect additional lands as part of the refuge."

The Nature Conservancy has been working to conserve habitat in the Cherry Valley area

for more than 15 years. Conservancy staff will continue to work with partner organizations and

community leaders to spread the word about the refuge and help interested landowners navigatethe process of protecting their land.

Support from local leaders including Rep, Paul E. Kanjorski (PA-11th) and Rep.

Charles Dent (PA-15th) who sponsored the federal legislation to establish the refuge has been

critical to the project's success, Cook said.

DCNR To Acquire 2,650 Acre Addition To Lackawanna State Forest

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Deputy Secretary Cindy Dunn this week

joined representatives of The Conservation Fund, Monroe County Commissioners, The Nature

Conservancy, Wildlands Conservancy, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, township

supervisors and residents in applauding acquisition of 2,650 acres that will expand the

Lackawanna State Forest to more than 30,000 acres.

Located along the Lehigh River and Choke Creek, the land encompasses sections of

Luzerne, Lackawanna and Monroe counties. The Conservation Fund, working in partnership

with other public and private partners, acquired the tract from Blue Ridge Real Estate, Blakeslee,

and will eventually transfer it to DCNR as a permanent addition to Lackawanna State Forest.

Thanks to efforts of The Conservation Fund and others, some of the most pristine

headwaters of the Delaware River now will be included in the Lackawanna State Forest, andtheir extraordinary natural and wildlife resources will be protected for future generations, Dunn

said, speaking at a ceremony hosted along the Lehigh River by the Pennsylvania Environmental

Council.

Helping form what environmentalists have labeled the Lehigh River Conservation

Corridor, the newly acquired property provides prime upland forest, several miles of waterways,

significant wetland acreage and ideal habitat for black bear, bobcat, river otter, coyote, fisher,

snowshoe hares and white-tailed deer. It contains several miles of frontage on the Lehigh River,

Choke Creek, Trout Creek and Kendall Run. The 40-foot Choke Creek falls is a popular

landmark known for its extraordinary beauty. The area will be opened to hunters, hikers and all

other state forest recreational enthusiasts.Rich in natural resources, this acquisition carries tremendous connectivity value by

linking more than 70,000 acres of state forest, state game lands and non-profit conservation

lands, Dunn said. I commend the conservancies, county leaders and others who worked so

hard to make this happen.

Funded by DCNR, Monroe County and local private donors working with The Nature

Conservancy, the purchase enhances existing wildlife corridors; extends contiguous oak forests;

helps protect Lehigh and Delaware River headwaters; and provides a portal for increased

recreational and scenic enjoyment by state forest visitors.

This property had been slated for development, but many people in the area wanted to

see it conserved, said Todd McNew, Pennsylvania director of The Conservation Fund. We

were able to act quickly, but we couldnt have done it without the great support from all of ourpartners. We look forward to this becoming a permanent addition to Lackawanna State Forest for

current and future generations to enjoy.

Wildlands Conservancys Chris Kocher was pleased to see the acquisition come together

and a key recommendation in the Conservancys Lehigh River Watershed Conservation

Management Plan implemented.

The upper Lehigh River Corridor is a conservation priority. This acquisition adds to the

historic land protection work of Wildlands Conservancy and our conservation partners and

significantly increases the connectivity of protected open space in the upper Lehigh River

watershed region and the miles of Lehigh riverfront property protected and opens to the public,

said Kocher.

Bud Cook of The Nature Conservancy provided a glimpse of the importance of this

newly protected land through the eyes of wildlife, specifically an otter. The connectivity

provided by this acquisition is paramount to sustain wildlife and protect rivers and streamsthroughout the region. Bud thanked DCNR, Monroe County and Conservancy members and

supporters for their commitment to making this key land and water protection project happen.

Monroe County Commissioner Vice-Chairperson Theresa Merli applauded the

acquisition and emphasized that conservation of key lands has been a priority for Monroe County

residents dating back to the Monroe County 2020 plan and the first open space bond in the

County. The success of this program has leveraged significant funds for land and water

protection, planning and outdoor recreation.

Nick Lylo, PA DCNR Bureau of Forestry, District Forester, discussed future plans for the

tract to improve public access to the Lehigh River as well as the significance of this land in the

history of the region.

Though deed transfers and other proceedings have yet to be finalized, organizers plannedthe event to showcase the land and celebrate its acquisition.

Lackawanna State Forest, with acreage now totaling 30,150, along with the neighboring

Delaware State Forest and its 84,000 acres, are keystones in the Pocono Forests and Waters

Conservation Landscape Initiative, one of seven major land preservation efforts under way

across the state.

Regional in scope, CLIs partner local governments, conservancies and residents with the

DCNR and other state departments to plan and promote sustainability, conservation, community

revitalization and recreational projects.

"A priority of the Pocono Forest and Water Conservation Landscape has been to protect

PennDOT Warns Motorists Of Frisky Deer

With the earlier onset of nightfall, motorists should be prepared to encounter white-tailed deer

darting onto roads across Pennsylvania, said PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E.

"There is typically a sharp rise in the number of deer-related crashes at this time of year,"

Secretary Biehler said. "Motorists can reduce their risk of being involved in a crash with a deer

by driving defensively and staying alert, especially when driving between dusk and dawn."

Deer are most active during the fall and particularly between sunset and sunrise. Deer

also are less cautious and move around more during their breeding season.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash with a deer, motorists should slow down,

use caution and be especially watchful during morning and evening hours. Motorists should also

allow extra following distance between vehicles, particularly where deer crossing signs are

posted. Since deer often travel in small herds, motorists should exercise caution when one deer

crosses a roadway as it will likely be followed by others.

According to PennDOT statistics, 46 percent of all reportable crashes in the past fiveyears involving deer occurred in the months of October and November, with nearly 78 percent

occurring between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. Last year, there were nearly 3,000 crashes statewide

involving deer, resulting in more than 600 injuries and five fatalities.

The risk of having a deer-related crash further increases in October as hunters take to the

woods for the opening of archery and small game seasons.

To report a dead deer on state roads, motorists can call 1-800-FIX-ROAD.

5 Pennsylvania Colleges Rank High In College Sustainability Report Card

The College Sustainability Report Card gave five Pennsylvania colleges some of the highest

scores in their annual report on sustainability-- Dickinson College-- A, Allegheny College- A-,

University of Pennsylvania-- A-, Villanova University-- A-, and Penn State University-- B+

The Sustainability Report Card is an independent evaluation of campus and endowment

sustainability activities at colleges and universities across North America.

Penn State University

Penn State has been named a national Campus Sustainability Leader and increased it's

grade in a national survey of green schools. Penn State received a B+ rating in the Green ReportCard survey conducted by the Sustainability Endowments Institute.

The College Sustainability Report Card is an independent evaluation of campus and

endowment sustainability activities at colleges and universities across North America. Penn

State's B+ rating is up from last year's B rating.

The increase is due to the University's continuing focus on green house gas reduction and

the activities of the newly formed Campus Sustainability Office.

Erik Foley, CSO director, said, "This survey is primarily focused on operations, student

involvement and endowment. It is a valuable recognition of Penn State's green accomplishments

and a reminder of what yet needs to be done."

Penn State scored an A in the areas of administration, climate change and energy, food

and recycling, investment priorities, and green buildings. Student involvement and transportationreceived a B rating. Endowment transparency and shareholder engagement did less well and

were also the lowest scoring areas for most colleges and universities surveyed.

This year's report compared 322 colleges and universities using 52 indicators, from green

building initiatives to recycling programs to endowment investment policies, and uses an A to F

letter-grading system to evaluate performance. The average rating for institutions in the Big Ten

this year was B.

The Green Report Card is designed to identify colleges and universities that are leading

by example on sustainability issues. The aim is to provide accessible information so that schools

may learn from each other's experiences, thereby fostering more effective sustainability policies.

Penn State has a long record of environmental activity including decades of recycling and

energy efficiency initiatives.

The University has made remarkable progress toward achieving sustainability. It hasannounced a campus-wide goal of cutting green house gas emissions by 17.5 percent in 2012 and

already has reached 15 percent. Penn State has reduced its electricity consumption by 7 percent,

from the high in 2005, while adding over a million square feet of new building space.

Annually the University avoids more than $10 million in energy costs thanks to the

efforts of the Office of Physical Plant and individual efforts across our campuses. Penn State's 57

percent recycling rate soars above what the EPA estimates as the national average of 35 percent.

Penn State has an array of sustainability efforts in operations, outreach, teaching, research

and student affairs. The Campus Sustainability Office currently is supporting a quickly growing

network of employee-based Green Teams in many university units and has launched a new

Student Eco-Rep Program in the residence halls. Outreach reaches landowners, businesses and

communities with many services and programs.The Center for Sustainability is advancing the teaching of sustainability and innovative

applied research programs in green building, solar power and smart grids. The Penn State

Institutes of Energy and the Environment coordinates energy and environmental research,

bringing together over 500 faculty, staff and students. Student Affairs is developing its own

sustainability plan with sustainability learning outcomes for all Penn State students.

Lancaster County, Turkey Hill, PPL Renewable Energy Harness Wind Power

PPL Renewable Energy and its partners, the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management

Authority and Turkey Hill Dairy, this week unveiled a 3.2-megawatt wind power project at the

Frey Farm Landfill in Lancaster County.

The project, part of an ongoing partnership between PPL, the authority and Turkey Hill,

includes two wind turbines that will generate about 25 percent of Turkey Hills electricity needs.

Thats enough power to produce 6 million gallons of ice cream or power 700 homes each year.

PPL is committed to developing renewable energy facilities such as wind turbines, solar

panels and landfill-gas engines to provide electricity that is vital to our way of life in an

environmentally friendly manner, said Mike Kroboth, president of PPL Renewable Energy.

The addition of wind turbines at the Frey Farm landfill is a continuation of the long-standing

efforts of the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority and Turkey Hill Dairy tosupport renewable energy resources as part of their commitment to a sustainable future.

The wind power project sits atop Turkey Point next to the authoritys Frey Farm Landfill

and consists of two General Electric wind turbines that stand 262 feet high. Each turbines three

blades are 135 feet in length. The power generated by the two wind turbines will be purchased by

the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy, maker of the nations fourth largest-selling premium ice cream

brand and the top-selling refrigerated iced tea brand.

PPL also provides Turkey Hill with steam, which is a byproduct of the power generation

process from a 3.2-megawatt landfill-gas-to-energy plant.

This wind project with PPL Renewable Energy is another example of the authoritys

continued effort to use its facilities and assets to provide renewable energy, said James Warner,chief executive officer of the authority. We are committed to our mission of managing solid

waste and recyclable materials in an environmentally safe, reliable and efficient manner while

integrating renewable energy whenever possible.

Generating the same amount of electricity with fossil fuels would produce about 5,900

tons per year of greenhouse gases. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to

any one of these annual environmental benefits: removing 1,000 cars from the road; not

consuming 600,000 gallons of gasoline; and reducing the import of 12,000 barrels of oil.

Turkey Hill is excited by and committed to this opportunity to reduce our companys

environmental impact. Were proud to be an integral part of this groundbreaking project, said

Turkey Hill Dairy President Quintin Frey. Our support for renewable energy stems from our

strong commitment to a sustainable future in Lancaster County.PPL Renewable Energy develops, owns, operates and maintains renewable and clean

energy projects in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States, with a portfolio of projects

that totals more than 40 megawatts of electricity generation enough to power 20,000 homes.

These include solar panel installations, fuel cells or landfill gas-to-energy projects in

Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey.

GlaxSmithKline Installs Largest Rooftop Solar Array

GSK this week began installing North America's largest rooftop solar array at its Northeast

Regional Distribution Center in York. GSK's sustainability initiatives were just recognized in

Newsweek's "2010 Green Ranking" as ranking fifth among the greenest companies in the world.

Nearly 11,000 solar panels will cover an area on the roof which is about the size of seven

American football fields. The solar panels will generate enough electricity to meet the annualenergy needs of the nearly 500,000 square foot building. That's equivalent to the power needed

each year for almost 400 average sized homes.

"This solar rooftop array is a demonstration of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare

leadership not just in solar power, but in sustainability," said John Clarke, president of

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. "We hope that GSK's renewable energy strategy will

inspire other companies to look for ways to protect our planet."

Each solar panel weighs about 60 pounds and is more than six feet long and more than

three feet wide. The panels are installed in a grid system in sets of three. Nearly 100 workers

will spend the next two months hoisting the panels to the roof with a crane, securing them into

place and networking them into the power system.

American Capital Energy, the company responsible for the project, plans to install about500 panels per day.

The 3-megawatt system is expected to generate approximately 3.4 million kilowatt hours

of energy per year. This will enable the facility to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3,000

tons annually. It would take nearly 15,000 trees to absorb that much carbon dioxide in a single

year. When the project is completed, it will be the first time a GSK facility anywhere in the

world will be completely reliant on solar energy.

"Solar power is helping to propel Pennsylvania towards a sustainable energy future," said

Andrew Place, Acting Deputy Secretary, Office of Energy and Technology Deployment. "We

need strong, business-leading advocates such as GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare to help

us achieve this goal. The installation of this solar project shows how private sector leadershiphelps us all achieve a greener future."

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare received government funding and solar

incentives to help finance the project. A $1 million grant from the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania, Commonwealth Financing Authority and $4.1 million in federal tax credits will

help pay for the project. GSK will also utilize energy savings and Solar Renewable Energy

Credits (SREC) to offset costs.

"The support of state and federal leaders is instrumental in helping GSK expand our solar

energy initiatives," said Larry Brown, Vice President, North America Supply, GlaxoSmithKline

Consumer Healthcare. "This solar panel array provides a blueprint for GSK to bring solar power

to each of its North American distribution facilities in the next few years. As a next step, we will

then install solar panels at our Fresno, Ca. RDC by spring of 2011. Together, the York andFresno facilities will generate 60 percent of the total GSK Consumer Healthcare North America

RDC electricity supply from clean renewable solar energy. This is a remarkable step toward us

becoming a more energy-efficient company"

Four other solar panel projects were recently completed at GSK facilities in Upper

Providence and Collegeville, Pa., North Carolina; Belgium and Singapore.

Keystone HELP Energy Efficiency Loan Program Expanded For Homeowners

Pennsylvania homeowners who want to cut their heating and cooling bills in half now have a

new, affordable method for financing clean geothermal heat pump systems, said Department of

Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger and Pennsylvania Treasurer Rob McCord.

The officials said a new Keystone Home Energy Loan Program option offers low-interestloans that are combined with companion loans given in anticipation of federal tax credits for

fuel-conserving geothermal systems.

Secretary Hanger and Treasurer McCord made the announcement while visiting the home

of Peter and Laurel Hartwell, who are using Cleona-based G.F. Bowman Inc. to install a

geothermal heat pump system.

The program is made possible with $5 million from the federal American Recovery and

Reinvestment Act and could help as many as 750 homeowners purchase geothermal systems.

Installing the systems will create hundreds of jobs for contractors like G.F. Bowman.

"Geothermal really is one of the great, largely untapped forms of renewable energy that is

available to us," said Secretary Hanger. "Fortunately, more consumers are recognizing this and

are making the smart decision to put geothermal systems in their homes. This program will makesure more families have access to this clean, money-saving technology by offering new financing

options. That's good news for consumers, our economy and our environment."

The Secretary added that by taking advantage of these federal and state incentives,

geothermal systems can pay for themselves within only five to 10 years.

"Keystone HELP is a triple winner: families can make energy efficiency improvements to

their homes that save money and reduce energy use, the commonwealth earns a secure return,

and the program creates good-paying, much-needed jobs for local installers, contractors, and

manufacturers," Treasurer McCord said. "Less pollution, lower costs, and more jobs-good work

on three fronts."

Under the new geothermal loan program, qualifying homeowners can take advantage ofan unsecured 4.99 percent loan for up to $15,000 with a term of up to 10 years. McCord noted

that homeowners can also elect to take an optional "tax credit anticipation loan" equal to the

expected 30-percent federal tax credit up to a maximum of $10,000. The HELP program will

make the first 12 monthly payments of the tax credit anticipation loan and homeowners can use

the tax credit they receive to pay the remainder of the loan without any prepayment penalties.

Other special financing is available to homeowners who install a geothermal heat pump

system as part of a comprehensive "whole house" improvement project recommended through a

certified energy audit. In this case, qualifying homeowners can obtain a secured Keystone HELP

loan for up to $35,000 with rates as low as 2.875 percent.

All work financed through Keystone HELP must be completed by a certified local

contractor."This program is another great example of how the federal stimulus program is helping

us build a green economy in Pennsylvania while encouraging private investment and putting

people to work," said Secretary Hanger. "To date, the federal stimulus has directed more than

$136 million to our state for clean energy projects like wind and solar, plus another $253 million

to help consumers save money by weatherizing their homes. And we've leveraged those funds to

attract about $1 billion in private investment.

"These are good investments in our economy that will pay dividends for decades to come,

not only through lower utility bills, but also through cleaner air and cleaner water."

Created in 2006 by the Pennsylvania Treasury and AFC First Financial Corp. of

Allentown, Keystone HELP offers affordable energy efficiency financing options, including

rebates and low-interest loans, enabling homeowners to purchase and install energy efficient

equipment or undertake improvements to cut energy use.Keystone HELP began offering even lower rate loans in 2009, when Treasury partnered

with DEP to expand the program's impact by using funds provided under Pennsylvania's 2008

Alternative Energy Investment Act.

Keystone HELP has helped more than 7,000 homeowners finance more than $58 million

in money-saving home improvements.
