   The Green Valleys Association has submitted the Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.

   After review of the Plan and other information, the Department has determined that the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Program (Program) requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry:

   1.  The watershed area of Pigeon Creek (Chester County) from the headwaters to its confluence with the Schuylkill River--14.39 square miles.

   2.  The watershed area of Stony Run (Chester County) from its headwaters to its confluence with the Schuylkill River--5.59 square miles.

   3.  All tributary streams from the headwaters in North Coventry, East Coventry, East Vincent and East Pikeland Townships and the Borough of Spring City in Chester County that flow directly into the Schuylkill River--15.85 square miles.

   This action becomes effective June 14, 2003. Projects identified in the Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the Program.
