Watershed assessments of the South Branch (68 square miles), East Branch Codorus (44.5 square miles), and West Branch (165.5 square miles) were sponsored by the Izaak Walton League of America’s York Chapter and were completed in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Through a Growing Greener grant received from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and other partnership funding sources, the Codorus Creek Watershed Association (CCWA) completed a watershed assessment and stream restoration plan for the remainder of the watershed (West Branch and main stem Codorus Creek) which covers 165.5 square miles. The Codorus Creek watershed has a wide diversity of land uses including agricultural, forest, residential, commercial, and industrial. The water quality of the Codorus drainages varies from those supporting wild trout populations, to those heavily influenced by watershed modifications. Field observations indicate good water quality, supporting a diversity of benthic macro- invertebrate and fish populations. The streams in the watershed however are far from reaching their full potential as a biological and recreational resource due to severe bank erosion, high sediment loads, and thermal warming. A regional hydraulic curve was developed to determine stream types (Rosgen, 1994), and will serve as a design tool for future restoration. This regional curve was a continuation of efforts which started in the South and East Branch Codorus Creek watersheds which are within the Uplands Section of the Piedmont Physiographic Province. All streams and tributaries were assessed, classified as to stream type (Rosgen, 1994), and mapped using Geographic Information System (GIS). Bank erosion rates were monitored at nine locations in the watershed. Results of the watershed assessment revealed that there is significant stream impairment, primarily stream bank erosion and channel migration. Over 447 miles of stream were assessed in the watershed. Approximately 65 miles (23%), 228 miles (51%) and 154 miles (26%) of streams assessed were found to be either severely impaired, moderately impaired, or slightly impaired/not impaired, respectively. A Watershed Assessment Map was prepared using ArcGIS to graphically show the locations, magnitude and extent of impaired streams and other important watershed features. Stream restoration work is currently planned and underway in the East, South and West Branches. It is estimated that it will take up to 20-years to completely implement the restoration of severely and moderately impaired streams in the watershed. The estimated cost of full restoration efforts is expected to be approximately $12,281,166 today. An additional $13,897,500 will be needed to fully implement Best Management Practices on the upland 115,092 acres of agricultural working lands, 65% of total the land used. The Codorus Watershed Implementation Plan was funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection through a 319 NPS Management Program grant. iii Codorus WIP Front 12/6/2007 Contents Acknowledgements Executive Summary Introduction 1.

  • Discharge at Partial-Record Stations and Miscellaneous Sites
    290 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which these data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data col- lected. In addition, discharge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. These measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage to those events. Those measurements and others collected for some special reason are called measurements at miscellaneous sites. Records collected at crest-stage partial-record stations are presented in the following table. Discharge measurements made at low-flow par- tial-record sites and at miscellaneous sites and for special studies are given in separate tables. Crest-stage partial-record stations The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry.

Management: Natural reproduction, wild populations with no stocking. Definition of Ownership: Percent Public Ownership: the percent of stream section that is within publicly owned land is listed in this column, publicly owned land consists of state game lands, state forest, state parks, etc. Important Note to Anglers: Many waters in Pennsylvania are on private property, the listing or mapping of waters by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission DOES NOT guarantee public access.

  • Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions And
    Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions and Revisions October 2018 Under 58 Pa. Code §57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. The Commission’s Fisheries Management Division maintains the list of wild trout streams. The Executive Director, with the approval of the Commission, will from time-to-time publish the list of wild trout streams in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The listing of a stream section as a wild trout stream is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed. The Commission relies upon many factors in determining the appropriate management of streams. At the next Commission meeting on October 15 and 16, 2018, the Commission will consider changes to its list of wild trout streams. Specifically, the Commission will consider the addition of the following streams or portions of streams to the list: County of Mouth Stream Name Section Limits Tributary To Mouth Lat/Lon Headwaters to UNT 40.516388 Allegheny Kilbuck Run Ohio River at RM 1.25 80.131668 40.986111 Armstrong Holder Run Headwaters to Mouth Sugar Creek 79.638056 Reservoir Hollow 39.832628 Bedford Headwaters to Mouth Little Wills Creek Run 78.713597 UNT to Allegheny 40.260608 Berks Headwaters to Mouth Allegheny Creek Creek (RM 4.04) 75.910484 UNT to Northkill 40.517265 Berks Headwaters to Mouth Northkill Creek Creek (RM 7.70) 76.130256

  • Conestoga River and Cocalico Creek, Lancaster Co., and Crum Creek, Delaware Co
    Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Biologist Report Conestoga River and Cocalico Creek, Lancaster Co., and Crum Creek, Delaware Co. 2012 and 2013 Warmwater Stream Survey In November, 2012 and October/November, 2013 Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Area 6 personnel sampled Crum Creek, Delaware County (2012), Conestoga River, Lancaster County, and Cocalico Creek, a tributary to the Conestoga, Lancaster County (2013). Warmwater streams in southeastern Pennsylvania and statewide are gradually being surveyed to document warmwater fish communities as part of a greater project that would eventually characterize warmwater stream fish communities throughout the state. At the present time, results also provide anglers with information on new streams or stream segments to explore and fish. Two, four, and six sampling sites measuring 330-440 yards in length were electrofished in Crum Creek, Cocalico Creek, and the Conestoga River, respectively. The sampling sites occurred within stream segments listed in Table 1. Most stream segments except for Crum Creek near Ridley Park and the Conestoga River near Churchtown were characterized as being slow moving with moderately deep runs and glides, sluggish pools and only occasional riffles. Additionally, the majority of the pools ranged from three to four feet deep, but pools were sometimes as deep as 6.5 feet, providing the best habitat for larger smallmouth bass when pool substrates were firm. Sampled stream segments ranged from 20-80 feet in width, with a portion of the Conestoga study reach from Union Grove/Goodville east to Morgantown being the narrowest of the three streams. Sportfish communities primarily consisted of Smallmouth Bass, Rock bass and Redbreast Sunfish.
