Philadelphia Water gathered with partners and supporters of the City of Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program at the Fairmount Water Works on Thursday, June 16 2016 to celebrate the five year anniversary of the historic green stormwater infrastructure plan’s adoption.
Joined by U.S. EPA Regional Administrator Shawn Garwin, Pa. DEP Regional Director Cosmo Servidio and City of Philadelphia Managing Director Michael DiBeradinis, Philadelphia Water Commissioner Debra A. McCarty announced that City had surpassed five year regulatory targets, resulting in a 1.5 billion gallon reduction in stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows during a typical year of rainfall.
This historic achievement was made possible through the public and private creation of 837.7 Greened Acres in Philadelphia, and many of the partners and organizations contributed were on hand to celebrate at the event, dubbed “5 Down.”
Under the 2011 agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection (EPA), the City was required to create 744 Greened Acres, representing a 600 million gallon per-year reduction in runoff and overflows, by June 2016. Overall, the City must create nearly 10,000 Greened Acres over at 25-year period and reduce typical annual overflows by about 8 billion gallons.
Each Greened Acre uses green tools such rain gardens and stormwater tree planters to manage at least 27,158 gallons of runoff from hard surfaces like streets and parking lots every time an inch of rain falls in the city. In addition to filtering pollutants out of stormwater, green infrastructure sites keep excess water out of Philadelphia’s overburdened sewer system, where overflows can lead to sewage spilling into local waterways.
The event also featured a special beer created by Saint Benjamin Brewery in Kensington to highlight efforts to protect the source water they depend on for brewing and a musical performance by Philadelphia native Sterlen Barr. Mural Arts and the Public Workshop helped to support the five year milestone celebration. Members of the Philadelphia Water Public Affairs Unit created a backdrop showing photos from green infrastructure sites and Green City, Clean Waters events held since 2011.

A picture from 1964 of the Knapp Ranch. That is Frank Knapp standing by the truck with some of his eclectic livestock that also included peacocks, wild pigs and even a domesticated bobcat named Charlie.
On the way back from the rugby game today, the conditions were pretty good for landscapes so I dropped the wife off at home, grabbed my Canon gear and headed out to the local lake.
I'm not overjoyed with this shot, I'd rather have been up on the hill as there was a pretty cool afterglow once the sun went down - behind the way I was facing. There's no good shots the other way - there's a road there.
Better than nothing, and a wee road trip to St Andrews tomorrow to take the Mrs to a get-together so with all going well, I'll get some photography done.

The headstone of the Revolutionary War hero, Job Knapp in the Douglas Center Cemetery of Douglas, Massachusetts.
In addition to his service as a captain in the Continental army, Job Knapp served on a committee "appointed to take into the consideration the resolves of the General Court relating to the to furnishing and mean for the war" in the town of Douglas. According to William Emerson’s 1879 book "History of the Town of Douglas Massachusetts, "John Taylor, Aaron Benson, Caleb Whiting, Ezra Whiting, Isaac Martin, David Thompson, and Job Knapp ... presented their report, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. They declared it to be the duty of and for the interest of the town to engage the men called for, without delay, for three years or during the war, and that they should have the public bounties, clothing, refreshments, and pay granted by the town, state, and continent. Furthermore, it was declared that no man should be accepted who had not been a resident of the town for three months, and that no prisoner or deserter from the British army should be accepted in any case."
