| Tulpehocken and Quittapahilla Creek Watershed grants are given for
stream restoration, habitat enhancement, and recreational enhancement activities on streams located
in the Tulpehocken and Quittapahilla Creek watersheds. This funding is available through a settlement
agreement between the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and AES Ironwood, L.L.C. related to the
operation of an electric generation facility located in South Lebanon Township, Lebanon County.
Only project proposals located within the Tulpehocken and/or Quittapahilla Creek watersheds are considered.
The monies can be used for stand-alone projects or to supplement other funding for larger projects
that are designed to improve aquatic habitat, water quality, or recreational use. Examples of acceptable
activities include fishery habitat restoration or enhancement; fish stocking; fishing access; maintenance
or creation of facilities to encourage, improve or expand recreational use of the fishery; or studies
related to these issues.
The program will continue on a regular basis throughout the life of the AES Ironwood Power Plant.
