There is death among the waters of the trout. Not that type of death that one mourns for very long — if at all. But rather the life-and-death struggle of nature, the formation of the food chain so essential to life there. Perhaps the fly fisherman will add to the chain by killing a trout, perhaps he will not.

    APPLICATION TO THE USDA-ARS LONG TERM AGRO-ECOSYSTEM RESEARCH (LTAR) NETWORK FOR THE PASTURE SYSTEMS AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT RESEARCH UNIT’S UPPER CHESAPEAKE BAY / SUSQUEHANNA RIVER COMPONENT PASTURE SYSTEMS AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT RESEARCH UNIT 3702 CURTIN ROAD UNIVERSITY PARK, PA 16802 SUBMITTED BY JOHN SCHMIDT, RESEARCH LEADER POC: PETER KLEINMAN [email protected] NOVEMBER 15, 2011 Introduction We propose to establish an Upper Chesapeake Bay/ Susquehanna River component of the nascent Long Term Agro-ecosystem Research (LTAR) network, with leadership of that component by USDA-ARS Pasture Systems and Watershed Management Research Unit (PSWMRU). To fully represent the Upper Chesapeake Bay/ Susquehanna River region, four watershed locations are identified where intensive research would be focused in each of the major physiographic provinces contained within the region. Due to varied physiographic and biotic zones within the region, multiple watershed sites are required to represent the diversity of agricultural conditions. The PSWMRU has a long history of high-impact research on watershed and grazing land management, and has an established nexus of regional and national collaborative networks that would rapidly expand the linkages desired under LTAR (GRACEnet, the Conservation Effects Assessment Project, the Northeast Pasture Consortium and SERA-17). Research from the PSWMRU underpins state and national agricultural management guidelines (Phosphorus Index, Pasture Conditioning Score Sheet, NRCS practice standards). However, it is the leadership of the PSWMRU in Chesapeake Bay mitigation activities, reflected in the geographic organization of the proposed network by Bay watershed’s physiographic provinces that makes the proposed Upper Chesapeake Bay/ Susquehanna River component an appropriate starting point for the LTAR network.

Class A Waters qualify for designation as High Quality Waters (HQ) under §§ 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). The changes provide the appropriate designated use to these streams to protect existing uses. These changes may, upon implementation, result in more stringent treatment requirements for new and/or expanded wastewater discharges to the streams in order to protect the existing and designated water uses.

  • 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.

    June 19881$!. 50 Pennsylvania The Keystone State's Official Fishing Magazine Expenditures for recreation and leisure in Pennsylvania have increased greatly during the past 20 years, and recreation and leisure industries have become an economic force that affects the quality of life and the economic well-being of a large number of Pennsylvania residents. Pennsylvania's Recreation Plan for 1986 to 1990 identifies many issues and policies to be followed by federal, state, regional and local agencies to meet the Commonwealth's recreational needs. This plan was prepared by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Office of Program Planning and Development, under the guidance of the Statewide Recreation Planning Advisory Committee and the Citizens Recreation Advisory Council. The Pennsylvania Fish Commission helped prepare this document as a member of the Statewide Recreation Planning Advisory Committee. A number of the major issues identified by this statewide planning document and its policies were developed for necessary action, and to provide guidance to the Commission in its efforts to increase fishing and boating recreational opportunities. The highest priority policy of the Commonwealth Recreation Plan is: ". to encourage adequate sources of funding to ensure that the park and recreation needs of Pennsylvania residents can be met." The Commission as an independent agency must provide most of its own funds by collection of fishing license fees and boat registration fees. The Commission has implemented steps to adjust these fees to realistic levels so that it can continue its present programs and meet the unanswered fishing and boating needs of the Commonwealth. Another priority need of the Commonwealth is to provide additional opportunities for recreation throughout the Commonwealth.

  • Addendum to the Catawissa Creek Restoration Plan
    Catawissa Creek Watershed Restoration Plan Update Addressing the TMDL Identification and Summary of Problem and Pollution Sources The Catawissa Creek watershed is a very rural, relatively remote, largely forested watershed, with little agricultural land. The only urbanized area is the Borough of Catawissa, at the mouth of Catawissa Creek. Ringtown Borough, in the upper Little Catawissa Creek watershed, is the only other incorporated municipality in the watershed. Several small villages are scattered through the watershed. Little new development exists in watershed except for Eagle Rock Resort, a development of mostly second and retirement homes in the upper Tomhicken Creek watershed. Farms consist of mostly pasture, with the few row crops planted mostly in corn. Impairment of Water Quality and Aquatic Life The major pollution source in the Catawissa Creek watershed is abandoned mine drainage from five deep mine tunnels located in the upper third of the watershed. A total of 44.5 miles of Catawissa Creek watershed, 11 miles of Tomhicken Creek, and 3.4 miles of Sugarloaf Creek are listed as impaired by metals from abandoned mine drainage on the DEP 303d list of impaired waters. The DEP North Central Regional Office completed the assessment of the entire Catawissa Creek watershed through the DEP Unassessed Waters Program in fall 2004. In addition to the areas already listed as impaired by abandoned mine drainage, several tributaries originating on Catawissa Mountain in the lower watershed were determined to be impaired by acid deposition and will be placed on the 303d list. This is not surprising since nearly the entire watershed is lowly buffered and slightly acidic.
