Summary: Stream Restoration Incorporated (SRI) is a leading technical practitioner organization for stream restoration in Pennsylvania, with significant expertise in AMD-affected streams. Based in Slippery Rock (Butler County), SRI has conducted stream restoration work across western and northcentral Pennsylvania, combining engineering and ecological approaches to returning function to streams degraded by mining, channelization, and other disturbances.
Role in the PA AML Network #
SRI occupies a distinctive position in the PA AML network as a practitioner organization with deep technical expertise in the intersection of stream geomorphology and mine drainage. While many organizations focus either on AMD chemistry and treatment or on physical stream restoration, SRI integrates both — understanding that restoring a stream degraded by mining requires addressing both the water quality and the physical channel. This integrative approach makes SRI a valuable technical resource for watershed organizations facing complex restoration challenges.
