Book Description
Authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, Public Law No. 761 (Seventy-fifth Congress, third session), the East-Lynn Reservoir Project provides for flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. The project is located on East Fork of Twelvepole Creek in Wayne County, West Virginia, approximately six air miles southeast of Wayne, West Virginia. Reservoir impoundment was initiated in the spring of 1972. At seasonal recreation pool elevation of 202 m (662 ft) mean sea level, the project consists of a 407 ha (1, 0005 ac) lake completely surrounded by approximately 9,521 ha (23,527 ac) of contiguous highlands, comprising an overall project acquisition of 9,928 ha (24,532 ac) in fee. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) submimitted three separate reports (August 15, 1961; July 2, 1964; and October 9, 1964) describing pre-project conditions and predicting post-impoundment impacts on fish and wildlife resources. Fishery considerations were treated in greater depth than wildlife aspects in all three FWS reports. The FWS reports correctly predicted that adverse impacts on fish and wildlife utilization attributable to the project could be successfully mitigated. Fish and wildlife have benefitted substantially from the project as a result of the newly developed reservoir fishery and the large area of peripheral land purchased in conjunction with the project which is protected from incompatible uses.

Book Description
Beltzville Dam is located in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, on Pohopoco Creek, approximately 8.4 km (5.2mi) above its confluence with the Lehigh River. The primary project purposes for the 383 ha (947 ac) lake are flood control and water supply. The FWS originally indicated that federal acquisition of an area roughly equivalent to the flooded area, and opening of these lands to public hunting, would recover all project-associated wildlife losses. Later, the FWS indicated that mitigation of damages at Beltzville would require the intense management of 121 ha (300 ac) of project land at a cost of $5,600 for initial development and $2,200 O & M annually for a period of five years, for a total five-year cost of $16,600. The FWS further recommended licensing the 121 ha (300 ac) of project lands to the PGC for wild-life management purposes. these actions were considered necessary to replace the project-related projected loss of 200 man-days of hunting. The desired project lands were licensed to the PGC for wildlife management; however, development and operation have been totally at state expense. The prime planning aid relating to fishery resources was prepared by the PFC and FWS in 1964. Total angler-use of the project was predicted to average 33,000 man-days which appears reasonably accurate.
