	East Branch Clarion River Lake: LRP, USACE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		East Branch Clarion River Lake is operated to provide low flow augmentation for water quality in the East Branch Clarion, Allegheny, and upper Ohio rivers.
		The principal water quality targets are paper mill wastes in the upper Clarion River and acid mine drainage from bituminous coal mines in the lower Clarion River.
		A reduction in the alkalinity and buffering capacity of waters stored in East Branch Clarion River Lake and discharged from the dam limits the effectiveness of operations to augment flows downstream of the dam for mitigation of the impacts of additional sources of AMD.

		Storage in the East Branch Clarion River Lake is dedicated to pollution mitigation along the length of the Clarion River, and the District coordinates closely with the privately owned Piney Dam peaking hydropower station to assure that they bypass East Branch Lake augmentation discharges and do not interfere with our water quality operations.
		The second initiative is the East Branch Clarion River tributary AMD restoration program which involves the placement of limestone sands in the channels of thirteen tributaries degraded by acid mine drainage, acid deposition, and poorly buffered soils.
