  2. CONTENTS • History of the Cobbs Creek Watershed • Covering up of stream • Urban Development • Mill House Creek • Present Day issues • Combined Sewer systems • Wildlife Effects • Plans for the future • GreenWorksPhiladelphia • Restoration

  3. History We should talk about the ecological history of the area as industrialization destroyed environmental zones. We could chronicle the stream courses using maps and pictures from the past areas. The progression from an open to a covered stream would be great. I would love to highlight the presence of “wild” animals throughout to tie into a later presentation of wildlife effects.

  4. Mill Houses It will be important to highlight the grind house industries along the stream used to produce flour. Dams were also a large part of industry as hydrologic power helped in the millhouses. This is the beginning of factory runoff polluting the stream.

  5. Sewers of Philadelphia Combined Sewer Separate Sewer We should discuss how each sewer systems works then move into the pros and cons of each. We need to emphasize the need for change by video taping the build up of water in the streets during rainy days and sewer runoff into Cobbs Creek.

  6. NOT ALONE We are a leading city in the US, moving away from combined sewer systems, toward separate sewer systems all over the city

  7. Wildlife Effects I never knew that a bald eagle could survive in a city like Philadelphia. I don’t think a lot of others do either. My goal in this section is to inform the public about all of the wildlife they are missing out on because of pollution. I want to interview the head of John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge and get people involved in animal preservation.

  8. GreenWorks Philadelphia I think its important to emphasize what parts of the GreenWorks plan can and will be implemented in the Cobbs Creek area that will specifically help manage the storm water and watershed. We should describe the rain barrels, rain gardens, sidewalk planters with the underground storage capacity and especially porous pavement. We should interview people in neighboring communities who have experienced the benefits of implementing these elements into their everyday lives.

  9. Restoration Restoration projects include uncovering the streams around Cobbs Creek to allow for natural passage along tributaries to the ocean. Replanting destroyed areas and abandoned lots will help provide for green space for incoming species. Measurements should be taken along the streams where pH levels, dissolved oxygen levels and organism growth are reaching pre-pollution times.
