On Nov. 18, the Pennsylvania Statewide Water Resources Committee adopted an amendment to the new Pennsylvania State water plan designating two pairs of watersheds as “critical water planning areas.”
Specifically, the statewide committee accepted the recommendation of the Ohio River Basin Regional Committee to designate Laurel Hill Creek and Back Creek in the western part of Somerset County and the recommendation of the Potomac River Basin Regional Committee to designate Marsh Creek and Rock Creek in Adams County. Those actions will become final when the Secretary of Environmental Protection concurs. Four other watersheds — the Brodhead Creek in Monroe County, the Little Lehigh Creek in Berks and Lehigh Counties, Sugar Creek in Bradford County, and Spring Creek in Center County — were placed on a special “watch list,” but not designated as critical.
