Gnats (or Black Flies) are common
insects to the Susquehanna River
Basin, especially in areas adjacent to
the river itself. To some residents, the
Black Flies are only a nuisance, while
to others they are a serious problem,
interfering with recreation and busi-
ness activities.
Recently, a committee was formed
to develop a Northeastern Susque-
hanna Watershed Black Fly Policy
Statement. It is the committee’s
responsibility to gather information on
the impact of the Black Fly problem
and to determine the impact these
insects have on various regions and to
make recommendations on what
steps, if any, should be taken to
alleviate it. The following survey has
been developed to determine public
opinion on this issue in order that the
public’s needs be served most effec-
tively.
Your cooperation in this endeavor is
deeply appreciated.
Please complete the enclosed survey
and send to Damon A. Young, Execu-
tive Director, Susquehanna River Tri-
