DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES Ridley Creek Conservation Plan [28 Pa.B. 4958] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the ''Ridley Creek Conservation Plan'' and is placing the Ridley Creek, the watershed and all tributaries covered in the Plan in Chester and Delaware Counties, on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
On December 2, 1997, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council submitted the Ridley Creek Conservation Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and other information, the DCNR has determined that PA Rivers Conservation Program requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:
1. The watershed area of Ridley Creek (Chester and Delaware Counties) from the headwaters in East Whiteland Township to its confluence with the Delaware River--37.9 square miles.
2. The following tributaries from the headwaters to their confluence with Ridley Creek:
* Hunters Run and unnamed tributaries
* Dismal Run and unnamed tributaries
* Spring Run and unnamed tributaries
* Vernon Run and unnamed tributaries
This action becomes effective October 3, 1998. Projects identified in the Ridley Creek Conservation Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the PA Rivers Conservation Program.
