Now Online: PEC TV - Delaware River Restoration Program In Spotlight

The Delaware River Watershed Restoration Program is the theme of the September episode of “Environmental Focus,” the Pennsylvania Environmental Council’s monthly half-hour television talk show now available on PEC’s website.

The show features Andrew Johnson of the William Penn Foundation (photo), Kelly Heffner, DEP Deputy Secretary for Water Resources and PEC Executive Vice President Patrick Starr.

Johnson, Program Manager for Watershed Protection at William Penn, is leading a three-year initiative to cleanup and conserve the 13,000 square mile watershed. The cost of this effort is expected to exceed $35 million and impact the drinking water of 15 million Americans.

Following Johnson’s interview, a roundtable discussion on the challenges that lay ahead of the river will include Kelly Heffner and Patrick Starr.

Previous editions of “Environmental Focus” have featured topics such as outdoor recreation on Pennsylvania’s waterways, Pennsylvania’s state budget, and the Pennsylvania Pipeline Infrastructure Taskforce with guests such as Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn and DEP Secretary John Quigley.
