Middle Youghiogheny River Corridor River Conservation Plan [31 Pa.B. 6551] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the Middle Youghiogheny River Corridor River Conservation Plan (Plan) and is placing the Middle Youghiogheny River Corridor and all tributaries within the corridor in Fayette and Somerset Counties, on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
The Somerset County 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. A segment of the Middle Youghiogheny River extending from the Pennsylvania/Maryland Stateline (Fayette and Somerset Counties) northward to South Connellsville, Fayette County, PA--48 river miles.
2. A corridor extending outward approximately 1 mile from each riverbank.
3. The portion of all tributary streams within the river corridor.
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.
A copy of the final Plan is available for review at Somerset County Conservancy, P. O. Box 241, Somerset, PA 15501, (814) 445-4652 and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 6th floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101, (717) 787-2316.
