⚠️ Pennsylvanians Advised to Not Eat Fish from Portions of Briar Creek and Middle Spring Creek

High levels of PFOS in fish tissue prompted this “Do Not Eat” advisory. These streams will be removed from PFBC trout stocking program.

Pennsylvania DEP, Department of Health and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission have issued a “Do Not Eat” advisory for all species of fish in Briar Creek (Columbia County) and Middle Spring Creek (Cumberland and Franklin Counties), due to the high levels of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (aka PFOS).

PFOS, a “forever chemical,” was found in sampled fish tissue above the 0.04 parts per million “do not eat” advisory level.

30 point of entry (POET) filtration systems have been installed at properties in the Briar Creek watershed; another 24 will be installed in the Middle Spring watershed in order provide safe drinking water for residents, thanks to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act response in these watersheds.

The affected waters are Middle Spring Creek, Cumberland County and West Branch Briar Creek and Briar Creek in Columbia County.

If you were planning to fish for trout on these streams on Mentored Youth Day or Opening Day of trout season, please plan to find alternate waters.

Trout that were allocated for these waters will now be stocked in other nearby waters.
