Schuylkill Headwaters Association

Schuylkill Headwaters Association The Schuylkill Headwaters Association (SHA) is a 501(c)3 environmental organization located in Pottsville, PA.

We were founded in 1998 with the mission “to promote the environmental integrity of the Schuylkill River, its tributaries, and the watershed that lies within the boundaries of Schuylkill County.” SHA works to protect and enhance the headwaters of the Schuylkill River by educating residents about the Schuylkill River and by implementing projects to reduce and control pollution. There are various so

urces of water pollution within the headwaters of the Schuylkill River, but the main impairment is abandoned mine drainage (AMD).
