Susquehanna River Anadromous Fish Restoration Cooperative (SRAFRC) Susquehanna River Anadromous Fish Restoration Cooperative (SRAFRC) DRAFT Migratory Fish Management and Restoration Plan for the Susquehanna River Basin March 11, 2010 DRAFT for Policy Committee and public review Cooperators U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Marine Fisheries Service Susquehanna River Basin Commission Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Maryland Department of Natural Resources New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Acknowledgments This Plan was initially written in 1997 by Mike Hendricks, specifically as a guidance document for future Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) activities in Pennsylvania waters of the Susquehanna River basin. It was modified and updated in 2001 by Dick St. Pierre, the Susquehanna River Coordinator (Coordinator) for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to incorporate recent information add new program elements and serve as an anadromous fish restoration plan for the Susquehanna River Anadromous Fish Restoration Cooperative (SRAFRC). It was updated and revised again during 2006-2010 to address additional migratory fish (anadromous, catadromous, and potadromous) including alewife, blueback herring, striped bass, Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, and American eel. The authors appreciate critical reviews provided by independent reviewers and members of the SRAFRC Policy Committee. Portions were taken directly from the Chesapeake Bay Program's "Chesapeake Bay Alosid Management Plan" (Chesapeake Executive Council 1989). Other American shad plans reviewed included those from the Penobscot and Roanoke rivers. Plan writers: Lawrence M. Miller U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service David W. Heicher Susquehanna River Basin Commission Andrew L. Shiels & Michael L. Hendricks Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Robert A. Sadzinski Maryland Department of Natural Resources David Lemon New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Reviewers: Richard St. Pierre U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Retired R. Wilson Laney U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service Andrew Kahnle New York State Department of Environmental Conservation In addition, we would like to thank the many individuals who have contributed to this effort by collecting eggs, culturing shad, operating fishways and monitoring juvenile and adult populations. We would also like to thank the lower Susquehanna River hydroelectric project owners/operators including Exelon Corporation, PPL Holtwood LLC, Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation, and York Haven Power Company LLC for their support and cooperation. Lastly, we would like to thank Dick St. Pierre for his dedication and commitment to the resources of the Susquehanna River. His vision for the Susquehanna River still stands as the benchmark, and without his early endeavors preparation of this report would have been much more difficult. 2 Table of Contents

    CLASS A WILD TROUT STREAMS STATEWIDE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS REVIEW STREAM REDESIGNATION EVALUATION Drainage Lists: A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, N, O, P, Q, T WATER QUALITY MONITORING SECTION (MAB) DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY STANDARDS BUREAU OF POINT AND NON-POINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION December 2014 INTRODUCTION The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required by regulation, 25 Pa. Code section 93.4b(a)(2)(ii), to consider streams for High Quality (HQ) designation when the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) submits information that a stream is a Class A Wild Trout stream based on wild trout biomass. The PFBC surveys for trout biomass using their established protocols (Weber, Green, Miko) and compares the results to the Class A Wild Trout Stream criteria listed in Table 1. The PFBC applies the Class A classification following public notice, review of comments, and approval by their Commissioners. The PFBC then submits the reports to the Department where staff conducts an independent review of the trout biomass data in the fisheries management reports for each stream. All fisheries management reports that support PFBCs final determinations included in this package were reviewed and the streams were found to qualify as HQ streams under 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). There are 50 entries representing 207 stream miles included in the recommendations table. The Department generally followed the PFBC requested stream reach delineations. Adjustments to reaches were made in some instances based on land use, confluence of tributaries, or considerations based on electronic mapping limitations. PUBLIC RESPONSE AND PARTICIPATION SUMMARY The procedure by which the PFBC designates stream segments as Class A requires a public notice process where proposed Class A sections are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin first as proposed and secondly as final, after a review of comments received during the public comment period and approval by the PFBC Commissioners.

  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018.
