The Chartiers Nature Conservancy submitted the Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and other information, the 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 Lower Chartiers Creek Watershed from the confluence of Little Chartiers Creek and Chartiers Creek in Washington County to its confluence with the Ohio River in Allegheny County--139 square miles.
2. All tributary streams within the Lower Chartiers Creek Watershed.
This action becomes effective, December 1, 2001. Projects identified in the Plan become eligible for additional planning, development or acquisition grant funding through the Keystone Rivers Conservation Program.
