Please note that the Association has received a new Pennsylvania Growing Greener Grant for $108,523 for the removal of an approximate six-foot earthen dam on Allenwood Federal Prison grounds.  The dam creates a large impoundment of water that contributes thermal (warm water) pollution to the headwaters of Black Hole Creek.
