	Quittapahilla Creek Watershed Assessment and Restoration and Management Plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Quittapahilla Creek Watershed is situated in the Ridge and Valley physiographic region in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
		Quittapahilla Creek is a tributary to Swatara Creek and is part of the Susquehanna River Basin.
		Past and current land use and land management practices in the rural areas, suburban communities, and urban centers have resulted in degraded water quality, stream bank and bed erosion, sedimentation, flooding, and the loss of riparian and in-stream habitat throughout the Quittapahilla Creek Watershed.
