Beaver River Conservation and Management Plan
Background:
In 2004, PEC received funding from DCNR to complete a Rivers Conservation Plan for the Beaver River corridor in Lawrence and Beaver Counties. In addition to the 2 counties, 27 municipalities have jurisdiction within the Beaver River corridor study area.
Project Goals:
- To evaluate the potential development impacts of existing community zoning ordinances
- To assess the relationship of historical flooding patterns and development patterns
- To outline a broad range of project and policy recommendations for County, regional, and local governing bodies as well as other community stakeholders to implement and effectively manage future conservation efforts.
Current/upcoming plans:
The draft Plan will be available for public comment in early 2008.
