Approval of the Monongahela River Conservation Plan
[28 Pa.B. 1012] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the Monongahela River Conservation Plan (prepared for the Boroughs of Brownsville, California, Centerville, Coal Center, Newell, West Brownsville and Luzerne Township) and is placing the segment of the Monongahela River studied in the plan on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
On November 22, 1997, the Brownsville Borough submitted the Monongahela River Conservation Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and the other information, the DCNR has determined that PA Rivers Conservation Program requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:
1. A segment of the Monongahela River:
* Eastern side of the river; 24.5 miles: Newell Borough (Navigational river mile marker (MM) 49.5) to Luzerne Township (MM 74.0) in Fayette County.
* Western side of the river; 13.0 miles: Coal Center Borough (MM 49.5) to Centerville Borough (MM 62.5) in Washington County.
2. The river corridor adjacent to the designated river segments (see Figure 2). The corridor width varies, but is generally 1 mile on either side of the river or to the ridge of the steepest slope.
3. The portion of the following tributaries, extending from the mouth, upstream.
* Redstone Creek, Fayette County; 2.75 linear miles.
* Dunlap Creek, Fayette County; 1 linear mile.
* Pike Creek, Washington County; 1 linear mile.
This action becomes effective February 21, 1998. Projects identified in the Monongahela Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the PA Rivers Conservation Program.
A copy of the Final Plan is available for review at Brownsville Borough Office, Second and High Streets, Brownsville, PA 15417, (412) 785-5761; and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 6th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8475, (717) 787-2316.
