​For years, those that install and maintain roadways were designing them to shed water and force it toward the closest steam in the shortest time possible.  These actions translate to more sediment transport and pollution in our waterways.  Join us as we discuss the Susquehanna County Conservation District's Dirt and Gravel Road program and how it's helping local entities protect our natural resources.
