It has been developed to implement the direction of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA) of 1968 as amended on October 19, 1996 by Public Law 104-314 – An Act to designate 51.7 miles of the Clarion River, located in Pennsylvania, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The WSRA requires the Forest Service to develop a management plan for the Clarion River which will protect and enhance the free flow, water quality, and Outstandingly Remarkable Values of the river. The Clarion River Management Plan guides all development, management, and restoration activities within the river corridor. It establishes management and development goals and objectives for the Clarion River. It defines desired characteristics of specific river segments and sets standards and guidelines for activities with these segments as well as for the river corridor as a whole. It outlines a monitoring program and identifies probable action. The goals, standards, and guidelines are a statement of the plan’s management direction, however the projected activities and rates of implementation are estimates and depend on site-specific analysis and the budgeting process. This Comprehensive River Management Plan (CRMP) for the Clarion Wild and Scenic River is being developed in cooperation by the USDA Forest Service, Pennsylvania State Parks, Game Commission, and Bureau of Forestry, and the Clarion River Municipal Partnership. Location The Clarion Wild and Scenic River begins approximately 0.7 miles downstream of the Ridgway Borough limit and extends 51.7 miles downstream, ending at an unnamed tributary 0.6 miles below Blyson Run. The watershed for the river is approximately 807 square miles, and it empties into the Allegheny River at Allegheny River mile 84.6, approximately 2.5 miles below Foxburg. Designation The Clarion River was designated as a Wild and Scenic River by Public Law 104-314, which amended Public Law 90-542, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The first section of the WSRA sets out the purpose for designating rivers as wild and scenic: It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. This designation is shown on the map in Appendix A. Authorities The bed, banks, and waters of the Clarion River fall under the authority and/or jurisdiction of a variety of governmental bodies. The federal WSRA of 1968 as amended includes specific - 2 - encouragement for the administering agencies to develop cooperative planning and administrative agreements (Sec. 3(d)1; Sec. 6(c); Sec. 10(e); Sec. 11(b); and Sec. 12(c)). In addition, because of the intermingling of jurisdictions and authorities, no one agency has sufficient authority to independently implement a comprehensive management plan for the Clarion River. Actions which may result from such a plan could affect downstream resources and authorities, and must be coordinated with those authorities to be successfully implemented. Recognizing this need for interagency cooperation, the signing authorities (cooperators) have participated in a coordinated planning effort with the intent of having one management plan all authorities can adopt. The Clarion River Comprehensive River Management Plan includes the final proposed rules for all sections of the river designated under the WSRA as amended. This plan will serve as the guiding management direction for all agencies within the river corridor. How This Plan Works Who Will Implement This Plan The Clarion River Comprehensive River Management Plan was developed through intergovernmental collaboration. Implementation of this plan is the responsibility of all the cooperators. Ultimately, its overall success will depend on community commitment. The plan is focused on implementation through partnerships and cooperative efforts. How This Plan Will Be Implemented This plan will be implemented through three primary mechanisms, including intergovernmental coordination, interagency action, and partnerships with the public. • Individual agencies will continue to operate existing programs consistent with the goals of this plan. With the adoption of this plan, each of the cooperators will begin to implement the plan within their own regulatory authority. • Intergovernmental coordination will provide an appropriate forum to develop budget and resource partnerships and to monitor the overall effectiveness of the plan’s goals and practices.

After many decades of volunteer service to the Conservation District, Ron McMinn has retired from the Conservation District Board of Directors. McMinn was a long standing Farmer Director on the board. Throughout his tenure, McMinn played a vital role in the growth of the Conservation District. During his time the District grew from a staff of one to the current staff of six. Although the District’s programs, responsibilities and natural resource concerns changed throughout those years, the dedi- cation to grass-roots conservation and community involvement remained the same. McMinn’s son, Ray, will fill the vacancy left by his retirement and will serve out the remaining term as a Farmer Di- rector on the Board. The Conservation District honored Ron McMinn by bestowing him with the sta- tus of “Director Emeritus.” McMinn will continue to provide his leadership and knowledge to the Conservation District in the Director Emeritus advisory position.
