  • N.Montour Comp Planv2
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The eleven chapters of this comprehensive plan provide a written and graphic description and analysis of current conditions, resources, and capabilities throughout Anthony, Derry, Liberty, Limestone and West Hemlock Townships in Montour County. In addition, the Plan presents future growth policies, recommendations and strategies to address identified concerns and manage the municipalities’ assets for the future. The document’s intent is to provide for future growth in the Planning Area in such a way that will preserve the Area’s rural, agricultural character and quality of life. The Northern Montour Regional Planning Commission, at the direction of the Boards of Supervisors of Anthony, Derry, Liberty, Limestone and West Hemlock Townships, was assigned the primary responsibility for development of the Plan. In June of 1992 a Professional Planning Consultant (Landplan, Inc.) was selected to assist the Planning Commission with the project. Work began in August of that year and has culminated with the development of this document. During the process, a Public Opinion Survey was distributed to all property owners residing in the five Study Area municipalities to solicit their input on various aspects of the Plan. The various elements of the Plan are interrelated from beginning to end. The background chapters (1-9) present and evaluate available resources and land use activities in the Planning Area; the goals (Chapter 10) set forth the municipalities’ desires regarding the type, location, and intensity of future development of the Area; the objective statements (following each goal in Chapter 10) describe the intent or purpose of each goal; and the recommendations (also in Chapter 10) illustrate specific ways in which the goals may be achieved.

  • Perihsylvani
    Perihsylvani S\ Annl 1997/51.50 Susquehanna River Shad Update One-hundred and twenty-six years ago, Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin signed Act 336, which established the post of Pennsylvania fish commissioner. At that time, the first commissioner's major responsibility was management of the migratory fishes in the Susquehanna River. Today, the Commission's responsibilities have broadened to include every public fishery and boating resource in the Commonwealth, and it also participates directly in management decisions affecting the Great Lakes and the Atlantic marine fisheries. In spite of these broadened responsibilities, the Commission still places a very high priority on management of Susquehanna River anadromous fish, in particular, the American shad. The Commission took a major step 40 years ago when it conducted a compre­ hensive study of the migratory habits of shad in the river. The results of the 1952 study were encouraging and led to many additional studies and the formation of an advisory group to administer study and restoration efforts. In 1969, the Commission and repre­ sentatives from Maryland, New York and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service formed the Susquehanna Shad Advisory Committee to work with Philadelphia Electric Com­ pany and upstream utility companies to implement a major shad restoration program. Restoration efforts have moved slowly but steadily forward during the past 23 years. In July 1991,1 reported to you on the completion of a modern fish lift at the Conowingo Hydroelectric Station. It was constructed by Philadelphia Electric Company at a cost of $ 12 million. During operation of this lift for the first time in 1991, some 27,227 adult shad were captured at Conowingo, more than three times the catch just two years be­ fore, and nearly double the 1990 catch.
