The Schuylkill Action Network recently released two important reports documenting progress in meeting its water quality improvement goals--

-- 2018 Annual Progress Report summarizes the initiatives and accomplishments of the Network and all its partners during the last year; and

-- 15th Anniversary Progress Report provides an overview of accomplishments over the last 15 years.

Among the accomplishments over the last 15 years are--

-- $14 million invested in Abandoned Mine Drainage Treatment Projects;

-- $9 million invested in nonpoint source pollution cleanups through the Schuylkill River Restoration Fund;

-- 17.5 percent of the watershed permanently protected; and

-- 784,035 pounds of trash removed from the Schuylkill and tributaries in the Schuylkill Scrub.

The Schuylkill Action Network is a collaborative network of over 100 partners working together to improve water resources in the Schuylkill River watershed. With "action" as SAN’s middle name, SAN partners have been working since 2003 to implement best practices across the Schuylkill River Watershed.
