Connoquenessing Creek Watershed Conservation PlanComprehensive Plans A general policy guide for the physical development of a municipality,taking into account many factors including locations, character, and timingof future development.Concentrated AnimalFeeding OperationA farm where large quantities of livestock or poultry are housed insidebuildings or a confined area and all units of production, including feed,wastes and dead animals are concentrated in one area.ConservationThe maintenance of environmental quality and resources; resources includephysical, biological, or cultural. Ecosystem management within given socialand economic constraints; producing goods and services for humans withoutdepleting natural ecosystem diversity, and acknowledging the naturalcharacter of biological systems.Conservation LandsDedicated AreaPublic or private lands with management plans that include the protection ofnatural areas as a primary objective.An area of land recognized because of an owner's specific intention toprotect it, which could result in the improving to become either a biologicaldiversity area in the future or an even better high-quality area within analready designated biological diversity area.DegradationDirect DepositionDrainage PatternEasementEco-regionEcosystemsEnvironmental EducationA degeneration to a poorer quality, condition or state.Occurs when pollutants enter a waterway by falling directly into it.The arrangement of streams in a landscape in response to local topographyand subsurface geology.A deed restriction that landowners may voluntarily place of their property toprotect its future uses.A geographical unit based on associations of those biotic and environmentalfactors that directly affect or indirectly express energy, moisture, andnutrients regulating the structure and function of ecosystems.An area and its living and non-living components.A learning process that increases knowledge and awareness of theenvironment and associated challenges, develops skills and expertise toaddress these challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivation, and commitmentto make informed decisions and take responsible actions.ErosionThe processes by which solids are displaced from the earth's surface;includes weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transportation.Appendix A.
