Billmeyer Quarry: From Pickaxe Mine to Scuba School to Drought Mitigation Asset

We've partnered with Lancaster Solid Waste Management Authority to use the Billmeyer Quarry near Bainbridge, Pa. as a water storage asset for drought mitigation. During times of extreme low flows on the lower Susquehanna River, quarry water can be used to offset consumptive use and to augment stream flows for other users and aquatic ecosystem needs. After constructing a pump and pipeline system from the quarry to the river with contractor Modern Pump & Equipment, we recently performed a 10-day test, transferring approximately 9 million gallons of water per day to the lower Susquehanna. Watch our video essay to learn more about the project and for some beautiful views of both the river and the quarry!
