Does a Farm in Lancaster County Hold the Key to a New Stream Cleanup Model?
Drivers along Route 222 in Lancaster County have noticed 20,000 cubic yards of soil scraped off Rocky Knoll Farm and it is causing quite a stir. While it may not look environmentally friendly, the exposed soil is actually a new cleanup method for streams in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Thanks to Ad Crable and the Lancaster New Era for allowing WREN to share this article with our readers.
