Sinnemahoning State Park Receives New Manager
Chad McKenrick, former assistant manager of the Promised Land State Park Complex based in Pike County, has been selected to manage Sinnemahoning State Park in Cameron County.
“A veteran and former waterways conservation officer with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Chad brings many skills to his latest assignment,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. “Our many visitors to the most popular Sinnemahoning park and lake will profit from his management and public relations experience.”
At Sinnemahoning, McKenrick will oversee 1,910 acres of parkland in Cameron and Potter counties; a 145-acre reservoir created by the George B. Stevenson Dam, which provides excellent fishing and water recreation opportunities; and the Wildlife Center, all of which draw visitors into the Pennsylvania Wilds. The state park is one of 29 in the Wilds area, and part of its 2.1 million acres of public land.“I believe that positive encounters with nature help create the passion to protect it,” McKenrick said. “Sinnemahoning State Park offers big opportunities to do just that.”
McKenrick replaces Tracy Zupich, who was assigned as manager of Little Pine State Park, Lycoming County. McKenrick began his Bureau of State Parks career in 2019 as a park manager trainee and later served interim manager at Black Moshannon State Park, Centre County, and assistant manager at the Promised Land State Park Complex.
A native of Clearfield and Jefferson counties, McKenrick attained the rank of sergeant in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and was activated for operations in Kosovo, Hurricane Katrina relief and Iraq.
Before joining the bureau, he worked for nine years with the Fish and Boat Commission, serving as waterways conservation officer in Susquehanna, Bradford, Clearfield, Jefferson, and Cameron Counties.
A graduate of Penn State DuBois, McKenrick received a bachelor’s degree in earth science and an associate degree in wildlife technology.
He and his wife, Becky, are the parents of one daughter, Laken.
The EPA Extends Deadline to Submit Comments for Proposed Clara Twp Injection Well Until April 5, 2021
Seeking Public Comments For Injection Well Proposal
The drive to buy the local weekly newspaper involves traveling on roads covered with ice & snow much of the winter.
So after an oil & gas (O&G) well operator proposed converting an old well into an underground injection well to dispose of wastewater, news of the proposal began spreading at a snail’s pace.
The full time population of the area is low. But because of Clara’s proximity to high quality streams and thousands of publically accessible forested acres visited by hunters and anglers, the area has many camps & cabins occupied by part-time, seasonal residents.
Following routines that span generations for some, part time residents will begin returning to their rural cabins in the spring where some will learn for the first time about plans to situate storage tanks on the mountain above their favorite fly fishing hole or cabin.
They’ll
learn tanker trucks hauling waste too dirty for reuse or recycling will
be discharging the waste into huge holding tanks where it will be
staged, before injection into a depleted gas well.
A similar scenario played out Bear Lake Borough, Warren County, PA in 2012 with a population of 193.
Seeking permits for injection wells in rural areas where there are relatively few residents, almost guarantees opposition to be small. Low population has made bucolic communities like Bear Lake and Clara sitting targets for operators looking for an easy path to wastewater storage tank and injection well permits.
And this is why the people in Clara need our support. Please take a few minutes of your time to send a comment to Kevin Rowsey, Source Water & UIC Section, U.S. EPA Region 3
Email: rowsey.kevin@epa.gov Subject line: PAS2D050BPOT
Comments will be accepted up until March 4th, 2021. For more info go to: http://savetheallegheny.org
The EPA Extended the Deadline to Submit Comments for the Proposed Clara Twp Injection Well
An additional 32 days extension will be granted to allow for sufficient time for the public to comment on the proposed permit.
EPA will extend the public comment period for Roulette Oil & Gas UIC well (PAS2D050BPOT) for an additional 32-days until April 5, 2021. This information will be updated on the website and information will be available online till this date for review.
