FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Proposed Addition of Bennett Brook, McKean County [41 Pa.B. 1412]
[Saturday, March 12, 2011]Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. The Commission's Fisheries Management Division maintains the list of wild trout streams. The Executive Director, with the approval of the Commission, will from time to time publish the list of wild trout streams in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The listing of a stream section as a wild trout stream is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed. The Commission relies upon many factors in determining the appropriate management of streams.
At the next Commission meeting on April 11 and 12, 2011, the Commission will consider adding Bennett Brook, a tributary to the West Branch Tunungwant Creek, McKean County, from the headwaters downstream to the mouth, to its list of wild trout streams. The Commission will consider adding Bennett Brook to its list in addition to the proposed additions, deletions and adjustments to the list published at 41 Pa.B. 1294 (March 5, 2011).
Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the classification of this stream may submit them in writing to Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commis-sion, P. O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, within 30 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.
Comments also may be submitted electronically by com- pleting the form at www.fishandboat.com/regcomments. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt. Electronic comments submitted in any other manner will not be accepted.
