Bierly, U.S. Advisor The Susquehanna River Basin Commission was created as an independent agency by a federal-interstate compact* among the states of Maryland, New York, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the federal government. In creating the Commission, the Congress and state legislatures formally recognized the water resources of the Susquehanna River Basin as a regional asset vested with local, state, and national interests for which all the parties share responsibility. As the single federal-interstate water resources agency with basinwide authority, the Commission’s goal is to coordinate the planning, conservation, management, utilization, development and control of basin water resources among the public and private sectors. *Statutory Citations: Federal - Pub.

  • Pennsylvania Highlands Region Canoeing Stream Inventory
    Pennsylvania Highlands Region Canoeing Stream Inventory PRELIMINARY November 8, 2006 This document is a list of all streams in the Pennsylvania Highlands region, annotated to indicate canoeable streams and stream charac- teristics. Streams in bold type are paddleable. The others, while pos- sible paddleable, are not generally used for canoeing. Note that some of these streams become canoeable only after heavy rain or snow melt. Others have longer seasons. Some, like the Dela- ware, Schuylkill and Lehigh Rivers, are always paddeable, except when fl ooding or frozen. This inventory uses the standardized river rating system of American Whitewater. It is not intended as paddlers guide. Other sources of information, including information on river levels.
