2016 Adult Trout Stocking Program Changes by Tom Greene Fisheries Biologist Bureau of Fisheries In 2016, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) will stock approximately 3.2 million adult trout in the waters of the Commonwealth open to public angling. This figure is based on trout produced at PFBC hatcheries. As with past practice, the average size of the trout produced for stocking will be 11 inches long. Changes for the 2016 season include stocking extensions on waters as a result of classification upgrades, waters restored to the stocking program and the removal of waters from the stocking program. photos-Spring Gearhart Stocking extensions and waters on five stream sections managed under Catch and Release Fly-Fishing Only regulations. Fingerling trout restored to the stocking program were stocked during the fall on an annual basis in these Roaring Brook, Lackawanna County stream sections from 2012 through 2014. The survival of Adult trout stocking will be reinstated on the 2.0-mile fingerling trout was monitored annually through the 2015 section of stream extending from Elmhurst Reservoir field season to determine if a fishery could be supported downstream to 550 meters downstream of the confluence by stocking fingerling trout in these sections of stream. with Rock Bottom Creek. Stocking was cancelled in this Results from these evaluations revealed that fingerling section of stream in 2015 due to bridge replacement on trout survival was consistently poor on each of the stream the road that leads to this section of stream. sections. Therefore, fingerling trout stocking has been discontinued and the following stream sections will be Wolf Creek, Mercer County stocked with adult trout beginning in the spring of 2016. A classification change stemming from an increase in human population density and a 0.5-mile extension of Caldwell Creek, Warren County the stocking limits will lead to an increase in the number 1.5 miles, from the Selkirk Bridge (SR 3004) downstream of trout allocated to this stream. The revised stocking to Stony Hollow Run located 0.5 miles upstream of limits will extend for a distance 3.01 miles from East Pine Dotyville Bridge Street in Grove City downstream to 300 feet downstream of the Airport Road Bridge. Brown Trout and Rainbow Donegal Creek, Lancaster County Trout will be stocked during the preseason and inseason 2.2 miles, from 0.2 miles downstream from the SR 0772 stocking periods. Bridge downstream to the T-334 Bridge Changes in stocking practices Green Spring Creek, Cumberland County Beginning in the fall of 2012, adult trout stocking 1.2 miles, from 0.4 miles upstream from the Bullshead Road was discontinued in favor of fingerling trout stocking Bridge (T-398) downstream to the mouth 6 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • March/April 2016 PFBC Facebook: PaFishandBoat the mouth. Formerly, this water had been stocked on a preseason only basis. French Creek, Chester County Landowner posting has resulted in a substantial loss of angler access to an 8.4-mile section of stream extending from Hollow Road (SR 1033) downstream to SR 0023. Therefore, stocking limits will be revised in 2016 to the sections of stream that remain open to angling. The revised sections will extend for a distance of 1.46 miles from SR 1033 (Hollow Road) downstream to the T-481 Bridge (Hoffecker Road) and for 3.1 miles, from the unnamed tributary upstream of West Seven Stars Road (T-522) downstream to SR 0023. George B. Stevenson Reservoir, Cameron County This 142-acre impoundment will be removed from the adult trout stocking program in 2016 due to a drawdown to allow for maintenance repairs to the dam. The Little Sandy Creek, Venango County impoundment is owned by the Pennsylvania Department 1.3 miles, from the old Bridge at Polk Center Pump House of Conservation and Natural Resources. downstream to the Savannah Road Bridge (SR 3024) Slate Lick Run, Cambria County White Deer Creek, Union County Access limitations stemming from an increase in 3.2 miles, from the Centre/Union County line landowner posting and documented low angler use has led downstream to the Cooper Mill Road Bridge to the removal of the 1.90-mile section of stream extending from Marra Road downstream to the confluence with Early Warning Waters Burgoon Run. Bly mire Hol low Run, York C ounty Based on the presence of a Class A wild Brown Trout population, adult trout stocking will be terminated on a 1.4-mile section of stream extending from the Mont Road (T-580) Bridge downstream to the mouth. Formerly, this water had been stocked on a preseason only basis. Chapman Dam Reservoir, Warren County This 68-acre impoundment will be removed from the adult trout stocking program in 2016 due to a dewatering of the dam to allow for maintenance repairs to the dam. The impoundment is owned by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Cold Stream Dam, Centre County This 9.9-acre Philipsburg Borough impoundment will be removed from the adult trout stocking program in 2016 due to a drawdown to allow for maintenance repairs to the dam.

  • Pennsylvania DEP's Six-Year Plan for TMDL Development

    Pennsylvania DEP's Six-Year Plan for TMDL Development

    Pennsylvania DEP’s Six-Year Plan for TMDL Development Developed by the Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management Updated March 2004 Introduction The Department of Environmental Protection focuses on watershed management processes that take a comprehensive approach to water pollution control addressing polluted runoff, or nonpoint source pollution, as well as point sources of pollution. The watershed approach requires selection or definition of watershed size and begins with a comprehensive assessment of water quality in the watershed. After water quality impairments are identified, a planning process occurs to develop strategies that can successfully address and correct water pollution in the watershed. Pennsylvania is using this process together with federal Clean Water Act requirements for establishing total maximum pollutant loadings or TMDLs to restore polluted streams so that they meet water quality standards. Water quality standards are the combination of water uses, such as water supply, recreation, and aquatic life, to be protected and the water quality criteria necessary to protect them. TMDLs can be considered to be a watershed budget for pollutants, representing the total amount of pollutants that can be assimilated by a stream without causing water quality standards to be exceeded. The pollutant allocations resulting from the TMDL process represent the amount of pollutants that can be discharged into a waterway from each source. The TMDL does not specify how dischargers must attain particular load reduction. In an April 7, 1997 Memorandum Of Understanding with EPA, the Department agreed to a 12-year schedule to develop TMDLs for impaired streams listed on the 1996 CWA Section 303(d) list.
