Schuylkill will receive nearly $55-thousand dollars in grant money for maintenance to unpaved roads where pollution from erosion, sedimentation and dust impacts local waterways.
The grant is part of $3.5-million dollars in funding the State Conservation Commission is awarding through the Dirt and Gravel Road Program. The program implements environmentally friendly maintenance to dirt and gravel roads which have been identified as sources of dust and sediment pollution.
More than 17-thousand miles of public unpaved roads have been inspected and more than 1,200 worksites totaling 600 miles have been completed since the program began.
