 Bucktail Watershed Association
Members
 The BWA has approximately 120 members
and meets monthly
 The BWA is a volunteer association with no
paid staff

Project Overview
 Invasive plant eradication
In 2010 we treated over 40 acres of Japanese
Knotweed along 17 miles of stream. In this
effort we worked with over 150 public and
private landowners. This program will be
expanded in 2011.
 Coordination of a volunteer network to monitor
water quality within the watershed.
 Streamside cleanup
On March 27, 2011 we organized 45
volunteers to for a riverside and roadway
cleanup along 12 miles of the Driftwood
Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek. Over
100 bags of trash and 39 tires were collected.
 Outreach
We regularly participate in local events to
promote watershed stewardship and share
watershed information.

Water Monitoring Challenge

Hundreds of Watershed Associations

are gearing up to monitor the
watersheds
Open web sites encourage information
gathering from unvalidated sources
Are data formats compatible with SRBC
/ DRBC Standards?
Are data results actionable for energy
and service companies?

Integrated Approach
 Energy Companies
 Service Companies

 Cameron County
Emergency Mgt.
 Cameron Marcellus Task
Force

1. Permanent monitoring equipment placement

• Utilizing the existing SRBC network and Standards
• 24 / 7 monitoring capability of key water quality indicators

Proactive Integration of Watershed Watchdog
Standardized data collection
methods with SRBC, DRBC and
other BC formats
Sharing of activities with Bucktail
Watershed through OneMarcellus
with no additional work load
(automated)
Sharing of results and exception
based alerting from SRBC / Bucktail
(manual) to energy company
through OneMarcellus with no
additional work load (automated)
The data set represents a “proof”
positive for high quality operations
by an independent source

safety data sheets, customs et al)
 Error Prone
 Inflexible

 Standard in the mid-90s for the order-to-cash-process

Core Energy Company Strategic Benefits
 Operational efficiency
 Strategic advantages
 Tactical improvements
 Safety standards and records
 Environmental responsible

 Corporate risk mitigation

 Even in the rare case of an “event”, integrated approach will lead to quick delineation of impact
 Feared impact with lack of data will always be challenging factors
 Data needs to come from a “watchdog” like source which uses validated processes

 Lessons from Chemical Companies

 Centralizing increases efficiencies
 Eliminate redundant processes throughout the corporation

 Ask:
 Sponsor standardized automated equipment for 3 years
 Actively participate in the process
 Supply information
 Consume information
