  • Pollutant Reduction Plan
    DRAFT POLLUTANT REDUCTION PLAN FOR AKRON BOROUGH, LANCASTER COUNTY Prepared by: 20 C Snyder Lane Ephrata, PA 17522-9101 Phone: 717.721.7444 Fax: 717.721.7447 HanoverEng.com Hanover Project AKR17-14(CBP) Introduction Akron Borough is located in northern Lancaster County, PA within both the Cocalico Creek and Conestoga River Watersheds. Akron Borough is comprised of approximately 832 acres; and includes—but is not limited to—residential, commercial, institutional, recreational and agricultural land uses. The Borough is within the Susquehanna River Watershed and therefore drains into the Chesapeake Bay. The entire area of the Borough is located within the 2010 Urbanized Area (47530- Lancaster, PA). The Borough is located northeast of the City of Lancaster and is bisected by PA Route 272. 100% of the Urbanized Area includes components of the MS4 (e.g. piping, outfalls, etc.). The regulated MS4 discharges to the following waterways: • Cocalico Creek (western side of the Borough) • Conestoga River (eastern side of the Borough) Approximately 562 acres of the Borough drain to the Cocalico Creek Watershed while the other 270 acres drain to the Conestoga River. A. Public Participation Public participation is an important component for a successful MS4 program. The enclosed combined Pollutant Reduction Plan for the impaired waters of Cocalico Creek and the Chesapeake Bay was published for public review and comment on July 26, 2017. Notice of the public review period was advertised in the Ephrata Review on July 26, 2017. A copy of the public notice is provided in Appendix A. The public was provided with 30 days to review and comment on the Pollution Reduction Plan at which point the comments were considered and a copy of the Borough’s record of consideration is included in Appendix B.

  • Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions
    Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions, Revisions and Removals September 2015 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 September 28 and 29, 2015, 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 Mouth Stream Name Section Limits Tributary To Lat/Lon 39.834064 Bedford Tiger Run Headwaters to Mouth Little Wills Creek 78.714294 40.688725 Blair Decker Run Headwaters to Mouth Bald Eagle Creek 78.230606 40.657829 Blair Elk Run Headwaters to Mouth Little Juniata River 78.219475 40.660103 Blair Hutchinson Run Headwaters to Mouth Little Juniata River 78.255722 40.620369 Blair Kelso Run Headwaters to Mouth Bells Gap Run 78.380302 40.637589 Blair Shaw Run Headwaters to
