Approval of the Upper Mahoning Creek Watershed River Conservation Plan [28 Pa.B. 1013] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the Upper Mahoning Creek Watershed River Conservation Plan and is placing the Mahoning Creek (upstream from the confluence with the Little Mahoning Creek), the watershed and all tributaries covered in the plan on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
On October 31, 1997, Jefferson County, Department of Development, submitted the Upper Mahoning Creek Watershed River Conservation Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and the other information, the DCNR has determined that PA Rivers Conservation Program requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:
1. A segment of the Mahoning Creek, known locally as the Upper Mahoning Creek (upstream from the confluence with the Little Mahoning Creek).
2. The watershed area of the Upper Mahoning Creek.
3. All tributary streams within the Upper Mahoning Creek Watershed area.
This action becomes effective February 21, 1998. Projects identified in the Upper Mahoning Watershed River Conservation Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the PA Rivers Conservation Program.
A copy of the Final Plan is available for review at Jefferson County Department of Development, Jefferson Place, 155 Main Street, 2nd Floor, Brookville, PA 15825, (814) 849-3047; and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, 6th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8475, (717) 787-2316.
