Money Available for Development

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has announced that more than $3 million is available to develop and implement projects that benefit fishing, boating, and aquatic resources in McKean, Cameron, Elk and Potter counties, with primary emphasis on projects within the Sinnemahoning Creek Watershed.

This funding is available through a 2007 settlement with Norfolk Southern as restitution for environmental damages from a June 30, 2006, train derailment that spilled sodium hydroxide into the Sinnemahoning-Portage Creek.

Under the settlement, Norfolk Southern agreed to pay the Commonwealth $7.35 million as restitution for environmental damages.
