DEP Rejects Fish Commission Request To Designate Part Of Susquehanna As Impaired
|
|
The Department of Environmental Protection Monday rejected a request by the Fish and Boat Commission to designate a 98 mile stretch of the Susquehanna River from Sunbury to the Holtwood Dam as impaired because the information submitted by the Commission they said does not support it.
The request was made last year, and reenforced recently, as part of the process leading up to the release of the 2012 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report which is now available for public comment. The Fish and Boat Commission made its request, in part, based on disease outbreaks in adult smallmounth bass in that segment of the river.
DEP's response noted research on the issue, including by the Commission, has so far failed to identify the cause of the problem.
