  • 倾向于卡内基城市农场的人说他们的目标是筹集更多的本地产品。“我们试图在这里找到一种方法”该农场的合伙人Jeremy Vroman说。“然后希望在卡内基或者他们没有人使用的财产中找到更多的空地,以便于我们可以再空地种植食物。”

    该农场是从Pam Henderson管理的后院开始发展,最终还接管了她家的隔壁空地。其目标之一是为卡内基居民种植粮食。该农场今年采用了社区支持的农业模式,这种模式允许客户支付运营费用从而换区部分收成。

    Henderson说,该集团目前有19个CSA客户。大多数客户住在卡内基。农场的一些农场品还被出售给餐馆,如PGH Taco Truck。

    • Pennsylvania has approximately 83,000 miles of streams and rivers. In order to fulfill monitoring requirements of the CWA, a process was needed to evaluate wadeable streams on a local scale while progressing towards a complete statewide assessment of Pennsylvania water quality in a timely manner. To meet this end, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) first implemented Pennsylvania State-wide Surface Waters Assessment Program (SSWAP) in 1997. This program, (formerly referred to as the Unassessed Waters, or UW Program) was designed to: conduct stream assessments as quickly and effectively as possible, complete a state-wide assessment of all streams within 10 years, document Point Source and NPS impairments state-wide, and identify the causes and sources of these impairments.
