Officials Approve Upgrade to Watershed
PICKERING CREEK GAINS EXCEPTIONAL VALUE STATUS, ADDING PROTECTION AGAINST DEVELOPER POLLUTION
By DANIELLE LYNCH, Staff Writer
WEST PIKELAND - The majority of supervisors voted in favor of upgrading the Pickering Creek Watershed designation to exceptional value on Monday. Two of the five supervisors were adamantly opposed to it.
Back in January, the township's environmental value committee formed and was tasked to provide an evaluation with the advantages and disadvantages of supporting the state's Department of Environmental Protection's possible upgrade of Pickering Creek's status. At the end of February, the committee presented a 19-page evaluation report to the supervisors in which it recommended the board move to upgrade the water status from high quality to exceptional value.
