Identification of crop management units (CMUs) or fields located within Special Protection watersheds is required by Part A of the P Index.
Specifically, Part A asks "Is the CMU/field in a Special Protection Watershed?"
In order to address this question, electronic or hard copy versions of Chapter 93 special protection stream listings can be referenced, the appropriate County Conservation District or Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) office can be contacted, or the eMAP (https://gis.dep.pa.gov/eMapPA/) web-based resource may be used.
eMAP is a GIS based mapping tool developed and maintained by DEP that can be used to identify Chapter 93 special protection streams.
The downloadable publication provides instructions and outlines the steps for locating a specific stream using eMap.
