   The petition was submitted by a watershed organization known as Friends of Pine Creek, and it requests the redesignation of the lower reaches of Pine Creek in Schuylkill County from Cold Water Fishes (CWF) to Exceptional Value Waters (EV). Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) staff will publish notice of its intent to assess the waters before performing any survey work.

   The petition is available from the Environmental Quality Board, P. O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477, [phone], and on DEP's website at the following address: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/subject/eqb/2001/Sep/Petition.pdf.
