Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions and Revisions January 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 January 22 and 23, 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 41.602222

    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.

    Report Abstract

    SL-145-1 REPORT ABSTRACT GENERAL INFORMATION Location and Geographics (p. 2) The Babb Creek Watershed is located in North Central Pennsylvania, occupying the southern portion of Tioga County and a small portion of northern Lycoming County. The area within the watershed is approximately 129 square miles, 65% of which is forested. The remaining 35% is agriculture and rural residential. The primary traffic arteries are Pa. T.R. 287 and U.S. Rt. 15. Topography and Drainage (pp. 3-4) The study area is in the upland plateau section of the Appalachian Physiographic Province. Elevation extremes are from a low of 860 feet above sea level at the confluence of Babb Creek and Pine Creek to more than 2200 feet along the sandstone ridges. Drainage forms a dendrite pattern commonly associated with plateau regions. Drainage into Babb Creek is received from three major tributaries--Lick Creek, Wilson Creek and Stony Fork Creek. Geology and Mining (pp. 5-12) Coal bearing strata in the project area are referable primarily to the Allegheny Group of Pennsylvania age. The coals are found in the Blossburg Syncline which traverses the study area northeastward from Pine Creek to Arnot. Six coals are present, four of which were mined. The major coal horizon is the Bloss vein which is tentatively correlated with Lower Kittanning of standard Pennsylvania Bituminous Coals. History of Deep Mining Activities (pp. 13-15) Coal was discovered at Blossburg in 1792, with the first drift opening" around 1815. The first mines in the Babb Creek Watershed were probably opened in Arnot around 1865.

    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.

    A Decade of Progress for the West Branch Susquehanna Restoration

    WestA DECADE OF PROGRESS Branch FOR THE Susquehanna Restoration Initiative 2004–2014 A. WOLFE 1 Foreword PA Fish and Boat Commission Executive Director, John Arway In 2012, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) staff surveyed the upper reaches of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Cambria County and discovered a naturally reproducing wild trout population. The abandoned mine drainage (AMD) remediation efforts, including the Lancashire 15 treatment plant, have improved water quality to PA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION FISH AND BOAT PA the point where there are now wild trout in the West Branch! With the recently funded Twomile Run project in the lower Kettle Creek watershed and proposed remediation at the abandoned Fran Contracting site in the Cooks Run watershed, there is a great potential to recover significant miles of naturally reproducing brook trout streams in the near future. Another major recent accomplishment is the AMD remediation work that improved water quality in more than forty miles of the Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek. The partnership between government, industry and the public working together on reclamation activities and AMD treatment has allowed PFBC cooperative nurseries to stock a portion of the Bennett Branch in 2013, and the PFBC will be adding a preseason stocking to a 4.5 mile reach in the Medix Run/Benezette area for 2014. Additionally, a 2.8 mile section of the West Branch near Curwensville will receive a preseason trout stocking for the first time in 2014. A. WOLFE These are some exciting times in the West Branch Susquehanna watershed and we look forward to more improvements in the coming years.
