Proposed Rulemaking X Final Order Adopting Regulation X No Final Order, Proposed Rulemaking Omitted Yes: By the Attorney General Yes: By the Governor (8) Briefly explain the regulation in clear and nontechnical language. Section 303(c)(l) of The Clean Water Act requires that states periodically, but at least once every 3 years, review and revise as necessary, their water quality standards. This rulemaking constitutes Pennsylvania's current biennial review of its water quality standards. The final regulation being considered will: update the water quality criteria; merge sections of Chapter 16 (Water Quality Toxics Management Strategy- Statement of Policy) into Chapter 93 (Water Quality Standards); add a definition in § 93.1 to clarify the term "conventional treatment" for potable water supply (PWS) that is used in § 93.3, Table 1; clarify in the footnote to Table 3 in § 93.7 that other sensitive "critical uses" may apply; verify current exceptions to fishable/swimmable waters; and make corrections and changes to drainage lists and other typographic and grammatical errors. In § 93.9a-93.9z, several changes to the drainage lists are proposed to clarify stream names, segment boundaries and to add MF use designations for the presence of migratory fish within the Mid-Atlantic slope basins of the Delaware, Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers.

  • WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 06B Mahanoy Creek and Shamokin Creek Watersheds (Susquehanna River) Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties
    Updated 2/2004 DEP Bureau of Watershed Management Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 06B Mahanoy Creek and Shamokin Creek Watersheds (Susquehanna River) Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties Introduction Subbasin 06B consists of Mahanoy Creek, Shamokin Creek and the Susquehanna River and its eastern tributaries from below the confluence of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River at Sunbury downstream to the village of Dalmatia. The subbasin encompasses a drainage area of 341 square miles, with 157 square miles in Mahanoy Creek and 137 square miles in Shamokin Creek. A total of 385 streams flow for 506 miles through the subbasin. The major streams flow in a westerly direction towards the Susquehanna River. The subbasin is included in HUC Area 2050201, Lower Susquehanna River, Penns Creek, a Category I, FY99/2000 Priority watershed in the Unified Watershed Assessment. Geology/Soils: The subbasin is in the Ridge and Valley Ecoregion. The western two-thirds of the subbasin is in the Northern Shale Valleys and Slopes (67b). Rocks in this portion are red, brown, or gray shale and sandstone of the Silurian, Devonian and Mississippian Ages. The subbasin has the typical topography of Appalachian Mountains region with mountains forming its northern and eastern watershed boundaries. Narrow valleys between these northeast-southwest trending ridges have medium sized creeks flowing towards the Susquehanna River and contain the best agricultural lands. Soils in Ecoregion 67b have a greater susceptibility to soil erosion, turbidity, and poorer habitat conditions than soils in nearby limestone valleys. The eastern third of the subbasin is in the Anthracite (67e) coal Ecoregion.
