  • 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

    Susquehanna River Basin Commission Lower Susquehanna River Publication 288 Subbasin Year-2 October 2013 Focused Watershed Study A Water Quality and Biological Assessment of the Lower Reservoirs of the Susquehanna River Report by Luanne Steffy Aquatic Ecologist SRBC • 4423 N. Front St. • Harrisburg, PA 17110 • 717-238-0423 • 717-238-2436 Fax • www.srbc.net 1 Introduction The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) completed a water quality and biological assessment in the lower reservoirs of the Susquehanna River from April-October 2012, as part of the Lower Susquehanna Subbasin Survey Year-2 project (Figure 1). This project was an exploratory pilot study representing the first focused, extensive monitoring effort by SRBC on this portion of the river. The lower reservoirs are located in the final 45 miles of the Susquehanna River before its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay. Three large hydroelectric dam facilities within this reach of river create the three main reservoirs. The objectives of this project were to assess current chemical and biological conditions within the reservoirs while also exploring a variety of assessment methodologies with which to incorporate routine monitoring of the reservoirs into SRBC’s on-going monitoring program. The Subbasin Survey Program is one of SRBC’s longest standing monitoring programs, ongoing since the mid-1980s, and is funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This program consists of two-year assessments in each of the six major subbasins of the Susquehanna River Basin Figure 1. Location of the Lower Reservoir Section of the on a rotating basis. The Year-1 studies involve broad-brush, one- Susquehanna River within the Susquehanna River Basin time sampling efforts of about 100 stream sites to assess water quality, macroinvertebrate communities, and physical habitat three reservoirs serve as drinking water supplies and are also throughout an entire subbasin.
