There is concern about dirt roads and runoff into streams causing siltation. I have seen a lot of forest roads that have been gravelled to prevent this. Cedar Run Road in Lycoming/Tioga counties is an example.
This road is unique in that it is also a township road. In the last year Elk township on the Tioga side has fully gravelled the road from Leetonia to the Lycoming line.
However, I just read this in the Slate Run newsletter. "Cedar Run Road was heavily oiled by PennDOT last month between Rt. 414 and Tumbling Run." How is this good for a Class A wild trout fishery? What happens during heavy rains? How was PennDot allowed to do this? Where did the DCNR and PFBC stand on this? Can anybody shed some light on this?
