NOTICES

Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Additions to and Removal from the List

[42 Pa.B. 4991]
[Saturday, August 4, 2012]

 Out of the 35 waters proposed for listing, the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) approved the addition of 30 new waters to its list of wild trout streams as published at 42 Pa.B. 2560 (May 12, 2012). The Commission also approved the removal of one water from its list as published at 42 Pa.B. 2560.

 The Commission already had designated five of the waters proposed for listing at 42 Pa.B. 2560. Therefore, further action was not required. These waters include Hoover Hollow Run, Clinton County (from the headwaters to the mouth); Burd Run, Cumberland County (headwaters to mouth); Mounts Creek, Fayette County (headwaters to Bridge on T819 (Eutsey Road)); Poplar Run, Westmoreland County (headwaters to mouth); and Sugar Run, Westmoreland County (headwaters to mouth). The Commission approved the addition of Poplar Run to the list of wild trout streams at 35 Pa.B. 2966 (May 14, 2005). The Commission approved the addition of Hoover Hollow Run, Burd Run, Mounts Creek and Sugar Run to the list at 41 Pa.B. 3063 (June 11, 2011).

 Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Commission to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. 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. The Commission's Fisheries Management Division maintains the complete list of wild trout streams and it is available on the Commission's web site at http://www.fish.state.pa.us/trout_repro.htm.
