York County
Dirt, gravel and low volume roads (low-traffic) roads transverse all of our rural landscapes from forests to farmlands. These roads frequently cut across natural drainage patterns to intercept both overland and sub-surface water flows and convey runoff directly to nearby streams, resulting in sediment pollution, an increase in flood flows, and a decrease in groundwater recharge through infiltration. The combined “rural storm-water system” is a large, but frequently overlooked cause of stream and watershed degradation and impairment. York County’s Dirt, Gravel and Low Volume Road Program is available to eligible public road maintenance entities providing both financial and technical assistance. Better roads, better streams, better communities!
