Lebanon County

Pennsylvania has over 28,000 miles of unpaved dirt and gravel roads serving rural residents, agriculture, forest product companies, and tourism. If not properly maintained, runoff from these roads can contribute sediment pollution to neighboring streams and waterways. Sediment in our waterways depletes the oxygen levels and smothers the aquatic life that supports our fisheries. Improperly maintained dirt roads become large providers of dust and sediment. Non-point source pollution is caused by dust and sediment, which is responsible for up to 80% of the degradation in our waterways. The Lebanon County Conservation District utilizes the Dirt and Gravel and Low Volume Road programs to implement environmentally sound maintenance practices in order to minimize the amount of runoff and sediment polluting our waterways.
