Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions, Revisions, and Removals September 2017 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 September 25 and 26, 2017, 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 Rainsburg Gap

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy

    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy

    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

    Assessing Wetland Condition on a Watershed Basis in the Mid-Atlantic Region Using Synoptic Land-Cover Maps

    ASSESSING WETLAND CONDITION ON A WATERSHED BASIS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION USING SYNOPTIC LAND-COVER MAPS ROBERT P. BROOKS*, DENICE H. WARDROP, and JOSEPH A. BISHOP Penn State Cooperative Wetlands Center, 302 Walker Building, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 USA (*author for correspondence, phone: 814-863-1596, fax: 814-863-7943, e-mail:[email protected]) Abstract. We developed a series of tools to address three integrated tasks needed to effectively manage wetlands on a watershed basis: inventory, assessment, and restoration. Depending on the objectives of an assessment, availability of resources, and degree of confidence required in the results, there are three levels of effort available to address these three tasks. This paper describes the development and use of synoptic land-cover maps (Level 1) to assess wetland condition for a watershed. The other two levels are a rapid assessment using ground reconnaissance (Level 2) and intensive field assessment (Level 3). To illustrate the application of this method, seven watersheds in Pennsylvania were investigated representing a range of areas (89–777 km2), land uses, and ecoregions found in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Level 1 disturbance scores were based on land cover in 1-km radius circles centered on randomly-selected wetlands in each watershed. On a standardized, 100-point, human-disturbance scale, with 100 being severely degraded and 1 being the most ecologically intact, the range of scores for the seven watersheds was a relatively pristine score of 4 to a moderately degraded score of 66. This entire process can be conducted in a geographic information system (GIS)-capable office with readily available data and without engaging in extensive field investigations.

Box 1049 Columbus, Ohio 43216-1049 FORWARD What is the purpose of this index? This document contains an alphabetical listing of the water bodies designated in rules 08 to 32 of Chapter 3745-1 of the Administrative Code (Ohio Water Quality Standards). Rules 08 to 30 designate beneficial uses for water bodies in the 23 major drainage basins in Ohio. Rule 31 designates beneficial uses for Lake Erie. Rule 32 designates beneficial uses for the Ohio River. This document is updated whenever those rules are changed. Use this index to find the location of a water body within rules 08 to 32. For each water body in this index, the water body into which it flows is listed along with the rule number and page number within that rule where you can find its designated uses. How can I use this index to find the use designations for a water body? For example, if you want to find the beneficial use designations for Allen Run, find Allen Run on page 1 of this index. You will see that there are three Allen Runs listed in rules 08 to 32. If the Allen Run you are looking for is a tributary of Little Olive Green Creek, go to page 6 of rule 24 to find its designated uses.

    The Remarkable Widow Catherine Smith

    The Remarkable Widow Catherine Smith Widow Catherine Smith settled at the mouth of White Deer Creek about 1773 on 300 acres of land claimed by her late husband Peter Smith. Catherine, mother of 10, was a small woman, about 5 feet tall, with short black hair and a pleasant expression. The Smith's, from Manheim Township, Lancaster County, operated a trading post (c. 1768 - 1773) at what is now Lock Haven. Sons Michael and Philip built a gristmill at McElhatton Run, Clinton County. Son William removed to the Ohio Territory. Settlers at White Deer asked Widow Smith to build a gristmill to process local grains, and a sawmill to cut local timber. The location at White Deer Creek, just off the Susquehanna, provided power for the mills and access to transportation. A boring mill was soon added. Boring mills made rifle barrels and re-bored barrels as they became worn from use. In the 1770's guns were scarce. Some settlers had muskets which were neither as accurate nor effective as rifles. Many in the militia had no guns at all. In order to forge a rifle barrel, a bar of iron was heated and hammered into a flat shape, the dimensions of which (length, width and thickness) were determined by the ultimate size of the rifle barrel. A rifle barrel could be up to 48" long. The flattened metal was shaped around a steel rod until the edges overlapped and could be welded together by heating successive small sections. Through repeated heatings and hammerings, it would in the end appear that the barrel was made from a solid piece of iron.
