Sealholtz Run is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. It is approximately 2.0 miles (3.2 km) long and flows through Lower Augusta Township and Upper Augusta Township. [1] The watershed of the stream has an area of 0.77 square miles (2.0 km2). The stream is not designated as an impaired waterbody. Its drainage basin is designated as a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.
Sealholtz Run begins in a valley in Lower Augusta Township. It flows west-southwest for several tenths of a mile before turning west-northwest, while the sides of its valley become steeper. After a few tenths of a mile, the stream turns south and then west before turning northwest. A short distance further downstream, it turns west-northwest, and leaves its valley. After a short distance, it crosses Pennsylvania Route 147 and a railroad, and reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River. [1]
Sealholtz Run joins the Susquehanna River 120.24 miles (193.51 km) upriver of its mouth. [2]
Sealholtz Run is not designated as an impaired waterbody. [3] PPL Corporation was once given a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to discharge stormwater into the stream for construction purposes. [4]
The elevation near the mouth of Sealholtz Run is 427 feet (130 m) above sea level. [5] The elevation of the stream's source is between 820 and 840 feet (250 and 260 m) above sea level. [1]
Sealholtz Run joins the Susquehanna River on the river's left bank. [6]
The watershed of Sealholtz Run has an area of 0.77 square miles (2.0 km2). [2] The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Sunbury. [5] Its designated use is for aquatic life. [3]
Sealholtz Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1187195. [5]
The drainage basin of Sealholtz Run is designated as a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. [7] The stream is affected by catch and release regulations for bass. [8]
