The Department of Environmental Protection published notice in the February 27 PA Bulletin inviting comments on a proposed total Maximum Daily Load Plan for Cove Run Watershed in Fulton County. (PA Bulletin, page 1082)

The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were caused by excessive siltation and nutrients due to agriculture.
