Kinney Run

The flood plain that Kinney Run flows through is shared by another stream, called Unnamed Tributary Number 10.

[4][5] Downstream of the point where Kinney Run crosses 5th Street Hollow Road, it passes by only two areas of steep slopes.

[4] The installation of pipes carrying stormwater into Kinney Run due to development in the watershed has increased erosion in the upper reaches of the stream.

One of these was constructed in 1972, after Hurricane Agnes, to divert water from the stream under the runway of the Bloomsburg Municipal Airport directly to the Susquehanna River.

There are two places on the stream where stormwater is diverted either to the Susquehanna River or the unnamed Tributary Number 10.

[3] In 1769, Evan Owen, the founder of the community of Berwick, settled at the mouth of Kinney Run.

[5] The Kinney Run watershed has seen a large amount of development, both commercial and residential, since the 1970s and early 1980s.
