ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BOARD Acceptance of Rulemaking Petition for Study [27 Pa.B. 6868] At the December 16, 1997, meeting of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB), the EQB accepted a rulemaking petition for further study under 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 23 (EQB Policy for Processing Petitions).
The petition was submitted by Birmingham Township's Recreation, Parks and Open Space Committee, Chester County, and requests that Brinton Run, Wylie Run and Renwick Run be redesignated from Warm Water Fishes-Migratory Fishes (WWF-MF) to Exceptional Value (EV) Waters.
The Department of Environmental Protection is currently reviewing the petition and will forward its report evaluating the streams to the EQB. Any changes that are recommended to the existing designations of these streams will be processed as a proposed rulemaking with an opportunity for public comment.
Copies of the petition are available from the Environmental Quality Board, P. O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477, (717) 787-4526, e-mail to RegComments@1.dep.state.pa.us.
