The recent PWWTU Chapter workday was a success. Under
the direction of the Pennsylvania Fish And Boat Commission 3 new instream
deflectors were installed in Pine Creek at the Bryant Road section. The
deflectors consist of 17 foot long logs anchored in place with rebar and
augmented by tons of rock.
In addition to the stream improvements, 47,000pounds of topsoil was spread in the area along the stream and grass was planted to improve the riparian buffer. Trout Unlimited volunteers were augmented by boy scouts from troop 17 in Hampton Township and neighborhood volunteers. The fish Commission representatives considered our efforts to be very successful.  The current deflectors shown here will help trout survive during warm summer months that usually result in a fish kill.
