| description:

There is a presumption that the Commonwealth owns the beds and the underlying subsurface of all navigable waters between the ordinary low water marks. Owners of land along the banks of navigable waters do not have exclusive rights in those waters; that right is vested in the Commonwealth for the benefit of the public. The lands that are owned by the Commonwealth must be conserved and maintained for the benefit of all of the citizens of Pennsylvania. Commonwealth ownership of submerged lands is based upon navigability. The waterways identified herein as having publicly-owned streambeds have been compiled by the Commonwealth over time from various sources. Identification is based upon information believed to be reliable and persuasive evidence of such ownership. The identification of a waterway as having a publicly-owned streambeds herein is not intended to be a final determination that the waterway is navigable under state or federal law. Moreover, other waterways not identified herein may be navigable under state or federal law, in which case their streambeds would also be publicly-owned. The Commonwealth reserves the right to add or remove waterways identified as having publicly-owned streambeds as additional information becomes available. Source of the streams is USGS National Hydrography Dataset (06/2005). Source of publicly-owned streambeds is Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) List of Streams Subject to the Submerged Lands License Program (09/2003). |
