All DEP, ECCD, PLEWA Municipalities, subwatershed groups Very high R2 Develop GIS-based watershed and stream restoration and monitoring plan that includes considerations for monitoring restored sites and streams. 3A, 3B, 3C,1B, 2B, 1HQ DEP, ECCD, LERC, PA Sea Grant Municipalities, subwatershed groups Very high R3 Implement specific restoration projects employing BMPs that: 1) conform to stakeholder GIS-based restoration strategies and 2) provide monitoring information after project completion. 3A, 3B, 3C,1B, 2B, 1HQ Municipalities, Subwatershed groups PLEWA, PA Sea Grant, local colleges & universities Very high R4 Construct new, or retrofit existing stormwater controls in areas having large amounts of impervious surfaces and/or where discharges are contributing to known stream impacts. 3A, 3B, 3C,1B, 2B, 1HQ Municipalities, Subwatershed groups Land owners, ECCD Very high R5 Restore riparian buffers, preferably with native plants, including conifers and other forest species wherever possible. All Municipalities, Subwatershed groups Land owners, ECCD, NRCS Very high R6 Install passive treatment systems (landscape plantings, water gardens, wetlands, ponds, etc.) to remove environmental contaminants (metals, organics, etc.) that enter streams via storm drains from streets, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces. 3A, 3B, 3C,1B, 2B, 1HQ Municipalities, Subwatershed groups Land owners, ECCD, NRCS, Master Gardeners High 172

All PLEWA, DEP, ECCD, LERC Municipalities, subwatershed groups Very high P2 Develop GIS-based protection strategy for each management area, by establishing a list of candidate properties to be considered for acquisition or purchase of conservation easements, coordinated with existing easement programs (e.g., PFBC Erie Access Improvement and PA Farmland Preservation programs). All PA Sea Grant, LERC, County Planning, DEP PLEWA, ECCD, PFBC, Municipalities, subwatershed groups High P3 Seek protection status for privately owned properties that would increase public access to aquatic, natural, and historical/cultural resources for recreational and/or educational purposes. All LERC, PA Sea Grant, PLEWA, or others Municipalities, subwatershed groups High P4 Seek protection status for privately owned core forests, especially in areas associated with headwaters, wetlands, and riparian areas. All Zone 1 manageme nt areas LERC, PLEWA DCNR, PGC, Presque Isle Audubon Society High P5 Seek protection status for privately owned forested riparian buffers, especially in watersheds of CWF streams. All PLEWA, LERC, ECCD DEP, PFBC, PGC Very high P6 Encourage municipalities to consider ordinances or other measures to maintain undeveloped vegetated buffer zones within at least 50-100 feet on either side of all streams, including small headwaters with watersheds less than 100 acres. All PA Sea Grant, PLEWA, ECCD, DEP, LERC PFBC, PGC, subwatershed groups High P7 Support and encourage private landowners to allow unused pastures and open fields alongside streams to revert to forested condition.
