       The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the ''Tulpehocken Creek Watershed Conservation Management Plan'' (Plan) and is placing the Tulpehocken Creek, the watershed and all tributaries covered in the Plan in Berks and Lebanon Counties, on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).

       The Berks County Conservancy submitted the Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.

       After review of the Plan and other information, DCNR has determined that the Keystone Rivers Conservation Program requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:

       1.  The watershed area of Tulpehocken Creek Watershed (Berks and Lebanon Counties) from the headwaters to its confluence with the Schuylkill River--219 square miles.

       2.  All tributary streams within the Tulpehocken Creek Watershed.

       This action becomes effective November 17, 2001. Projects identified in the Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the Keystone Rivers Conservation Program.

       A copy of the Final Plan is available for review at Berks County Conservancy, 25 North 11th Street, Reading, PA 19601, (610) 372-4992; and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 6th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101, (717) 787-2316.
