North Branch of the Susquehanna River Conservation Plan
[34 Pa.B. 3156] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (Department), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation, has approved the North Branch of the Susquehanna River Conservation Plan (Plan) and is placing segments of the Susquehanna River and all tributaries covered in the Plan in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
The Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy submitted the Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and other information, the Department has determined that the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Program (Program) requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:
* A segment of the North Branch of the Susquehanna River, beginning at the New York and Pennsylvania border between Athens and Litchfield Townships in Bradford County and extending to the border between Wyoming and Forty Fort Boroughs in Luzerne County on the west bank of the river and to the border between Jenkins and Plains Townships in Luzerne County on the east bank of the river.
* The Great Bend area of the Susquehanna River that begins at the New York and Pennsylvania border between Harmony and Oakland Townships in Susquehanna County and flows west and eventually north to the New York and Pennsylvania border in Great Bend Township, Susquehanna County.
* Both corridors extend from 1 mile east from the river's east bank to 1 mile west from the river's west bank.
* The portion of all tributary streams within both river corridors.
This action becomes effective June 19, 2004. Projects identified in the Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the Program.
A copy of the Plan is available for review at Pennsylvania Environmental Council, 175 Main Street, Luzerne, PA 18709, (570) 718-6507; and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 6th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101, (717) 787-7672.
