HB 2209 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in dams, bar racks and migration devices, further providing for marking of dams.

This bill requires the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to identify and maintain a list of run-of-the-river dams across the state. Owners and permittees of these specific dams must mark the areas above, below, and adjacent to the structures with signs and buoys to warn swimmers, anglers, and boaters about potential hazards. The legislation also mandates that the department publish this list and a map of dam locations on its website, while owners are responsible for repairing or replacing any damaged or removed warning markers within 30 days.
