Presently, the state bill
provides for four
designations under the
program, including Wild,
Scenic, Recreational and
Modified Recreational.
The Grange has called for
a fifth designation to be
added to the list It would be
a Pastoral classification,
designed to permit
agriculture to co-exi«t
harmony with other uses for
streams
The Octorara was
recommended for the study

Advisory Committee of the
Lancaster County Planning
Commission has continued
to endorse the designation of
the Octorara as a Scenic
River The Chester County
Planning Commission is
similarly on record as
backing the designation.
An important phase of the
study as it proceeds will be
the naming of an Advisory
Committee of local officials
and property owners This
committee provides input
into the study and monitors
DER efforts prior to the
scheduling of public
hearmgs
The State Grange has
urged, as streams are
studied across the state, that
agriculture be adequately
represented on advisory
committees smce farmers
are the largest property
owners involved.
Thus far, two rivers have
been included in the system
They are the Schuylkill,
from Philadelphia north to
Port Clinton, designated a
recreational river, and Stony
Creek in Dauphin County
designated a wild river
Actually, the Octorara
could qualify for many
designations under the
program It is scenic along
most of its many miles and
semi-wild m certain areas It
is one of the most popular
fishing streams in the area
for both fly and meadow
fishing And, of course, some
