Protection Actions Manageme nt Areas Potential Lead Groups Possible Partners Priority P8 Support and encourage private landowners that currently allow animals to graze areas immediately adjacent to stream banks to install fences to protect buffer zones within at least 50-100 feet on either side of streams, including small headwaters; facilitate land owner participation in CREP and other similar conservation programs. 1A, 1C, 2C, entire Conneaut Creek watershed ECCD, LERC, PLEWA DEP, PFBC, PGC, NRCS, municipalities, subwatershed groups Very high P9 Support and encourage private landowners and producers that currently raise crops to establish uncultivated vegetated buffer zones around the perimeters of fields, especially in areas next ro drainageways and streams. All ECCD, LERC, PLEWA DEP, NRCS, municipalities, subwatershed groups Very high P10 Encourage municipalities to consider ordinances or other measures to minimize development of areas serving as ground water recharge zones, especially in areas where wells are the primary source of water for agricultural, commercial, or residential users. All manageme nt areas outside service area of Erie Water Water Works PA Sea Grant, ECDH, PLEWA, LERC DEP, Master Well Owner Network, subwatershed groups Very high P11 Seek protection status for privately owned forests or areas reverting to a forested condition in ground water recharge areas, coordinated with state Source Water Protection program. Areas outside service area of Erie Water Works LERC, PLEWA, subwatershed groups DEP, municipalities High P12 Develop GIS-based models of the Pennsylvania Lake Erie watershed to provide visual demonstrations of how anticipated climate change scenarios will likely affect aquatic, natural, and coastal resources; these models are needed to support outreach efforts to promote community-based planning and activity for mitigation and adaptation. All PA Sea Grant, LERC, County Planning, DEP, NOAA, EPA PLEWA, ECCD, PFBC, Municipalities, subwatershed groups High P13 Establish stakeholder partnerships for eastern, central, and western thirds of the watershed to facilitate community involvement and land owner participation in protection initiatives leading to improved north-south recreational corridors that include as many as our watershed's distinctive aquatic, natural, and historic resources as possible. Coordinate this planning with outreach actions O5 and O6. All PLEWA, ECHS, ECCD, LERC Erie County Planning, DEP, PFBC, PGC, Municipalities, subwatershed groups High 174
