Rare plant won't endanger creek work By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff HARVEYS LAKE - The bad news is the borough still hasn't received permission from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to dredge accu- mulated silt and debris from a section of Harveys Creek at the Outlet. The good news is the project won't be stymied by an aquatic plant recommended for designa- tion as athreatened species, which has been found in a 100-foot section of the creek near the bridge. The borough council has been trying since April, 1994, to get state approval for a dredging project to remove silt which accu- mulated behind several beaver dams and lodges, causing the creek to back up into people's yards and flood part of a road. “I talked to DEP biologist Larry Oliver this week and he said he plans to meet with biologists Thursday or Friday,” said coun- cilman Martin Noon. “Oliver hopes to make up a plan and get our permit going next week.” Biologists found the plant in a 100-foot section of the creek be- tween the bridge and the first large tree — the place which Noon says is causeing the least concern to residents. “We're more worried about thne next 800 feet of creek bed,” he said. Once the permit is approved, it must advertised for 30 days, Noon said. ‘Then the borough may ad- vertise for bids for the dredging project. The plant, Ranunculus Tra- chophyllus, commonly known as the Northeastern white water crowfoot, a cousin of the butter- cup, hasbeen documented in only six places — including Harveys Lake - in Eastern Pennsylvania, according to native plant project manager Kathy McKenna of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Bureau of Forestry. “It's ecologically singnificant, one of the state's original fauna.” McKenna said. “It's an important part of our natural heritage.” McKenna has visited the Out- let as part of a Bureau of Forestry team which located the North- eastern white water crowfoot in the lake several feet above the bridge and in the creek near a drainage pipe from Outlet Drive. The Bureau of Forestry has recommended to the state that dredging operations to remove the silt be allowed downstream from the plants clustered near the drainage pipe. Aquatic plants such as the Northeastern white water crowfoot can’t be simply dug up and transplanted because they won't survive, McKenna said. “We're taking a chance with the dredging,” she added. “Once the silt is removed, the water may move faster in the creek bed and further endanger the plant. It's a chance we'll have to take.” McKenna believes the plant also once inhabited the marina area at The Northeastern white water crowfoot, documented in only six places in eastern Pennsylvania, has been found at the Outlet at Harveys'Lake in an area where the borough has been trying to get permission to dredge silt and debris from the creek bed. the Inlet, but was crowded out by Cabomba Caroliniana or fan wort, an alien introduced plant which spreads rapidly. A few fan wort plants have also been found at the Outlet, butdon’t seem to pose any immediate threat to the crowfoot plants, she said. The fan wort may have also crowded out another rare native aquatic plant, Beck’s water mari- gold, which produces yellow daisy- like flowers and would have thrived at Harveys Lake, McKenna said.
