Lehigh River Tributary
The study this year is documented in a video that is posted on the Sierra Club facebook page. We focused on nitrate and temperature this year. Results are tabulated at right along with a satellite view of the location of the creeks. Nitrate is a pollutant from agricultural or fertilizer runoff and is considered harmful if > 10 ppm. We see the Fells creek has the highest observed value with Coplay and Jordan also relatively high. Further work is planned to try and determine th

Lausanne Tunnel
The Lausanne Tunnel is the largest point source of abandoned mine drainage metals pollution to the Lehigh River watershed. In 2014 a Hulpits grant was provided that enabled installation of a 3rd 14" x 30' feeder pipe to the wetland as well as instrumentation to record the wetland flow. We are now treating an additional near 1000gal/min of mine drainage in the wetland AMD passive treatment system. The two graphs depict both the wetland flow, which is now at design rates, an
