QUALITY BOARD

Acceptance of Rulemaking Petition for Study

[41 Pa.B. 238]
[Saturday, January 8, 2011]

 On December 21, 2010, the Environmental Quality Board accepted a rulemaking petition for study under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 23 (relating to Environmental Quality Board policy for processing petitions—statement of policy). The petition, submitted by the Aquashicola—Pohopoco Watershed Conservancy, requests the amendment of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9d (relating to drainage list D) to redesignate Aquashicola Creek in Carbon and Monroe Counties from its current designation of High Quality-Cold Water Fishes, Migratory Fishes (HQ-CWF, MF) to Exceptional Value (EV). Under 25 Pa. Code § 93.4d(a) (relating to processing petitions, evaluations and assessments to change a designated use), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required to publish a notice of intent to assess candidate waters. The Department's assessment notice for Aquashicola Creek will appear in a future issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The previously-referenced petition is available to the public by contacting the Environmental Quality Board, P. O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477, (717) 787-4526, and is accessible on the Department's web site at http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/environmental_quality_board/14005/eqb_meeting_ schedule_2010/661796 (see December 21, 2010, meeting).
