DEP's Citizens Volunteer Monitoring Program is working with the Jennings Environmental Education Center, Canaan Valley Institute, the Western Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition, Slippery Rock University Biology Department and Grove City College Biology Department to hold a workshop for volunteer water monitors on the topic of abandoned mine drainage. The workshop will help participants determine whether or not they need to monitor and give them an idea of the range of monitoring options. There will also be hands-on field sessions on chemical, physical and biological monitoring as well as habitat assessment. The workshop will also include a tour of the treatment site at Jennings.
Scholarships are available for travel and lodging.
