Perry County north of Harrisburg across the Susquehanna River centered on New Bloomfield is one of Pennsylvania's most rural and forested counties, where land clearing demand centers on rural residential development on the rolling Appalachian terrain, timber land management in the county's extensive forests, and the modest commercial activity in New Bloomfield and the county's small communities. PA DEP Chapter 102 NPDES permit coverage is required for all clearing projects disturbing more than one acre, with the Juniata River and Susquehanna River requiring PA DEP Chapter 105 and Army Corps of Engineers review.
Tree of Heaven and Japanese knotweed have established in Perry County's stream corridors, and multiflora rose and Japanese barberry are established in disturbed areas and woodland edges throughout the county's primarily forested landscape. The county's remote character limits invasive establishment intensity compared to more developed counties but creates specific clearing demand for timber land and rural residential management.
Forestry mulching is essential for Perry County's forested Appalachian terrain, providing clearing capability on rolling to rugged wooded hillsides and efficiently managing the invasive understory without the hauling logistics that would be particularly burdensome in this remote rural county. The Juniata River corridor benefits from mulching's compatibility with PA DEP Chapter 105 and Army Corps of Engineers riparian guidelines.
