Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry [31 Pa.B. 3771] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation has approved the Conestoga Greenways: A River Corridor Plan (Plan) and is placing the Conestoga River along with the Little Conestoga Creek and the West Branch of the Little Conestoga on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry (Registry).
On June 19, 2001, the Lancaster Inter-Municipal Committee submitted the Conestoga Greenways Plan and other required information to gain Registry status.
After review of the Plan and the other information, DCNR has determined that Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Program (Program) requirements have been satisfied and places the following on the Registry.
* Conestoga River: The river corridor from Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridge/Hunsecker Road (between Manheim and Upper Leacock Townships) downstream to the confluence with the Susquehanna River.
* Little Conestoga Creek: The creek corridor from East Petersburg Community Park (between East Petersburg Borough and Manheim Township) downstream to the confluence with the Conestoga River.
* West Branch of the Little Conestoga Creek: The creek corridor for the entire length of the waterway; from Stony Battery Road (West Hemfield Township) downstream to the confluence with the Little Conestoga Creek.
This action becomes effective July 14, 2001. Projects identified in the Plan become eligible for implementation, development or acquisition grant funding through the Program.
