Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox river Conety Run (also known as Conety's Run[1]) is a tributary of Little Nescopeck Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately Шаблон:Convert long and flows through Fairview Township and Dennison Township.[2] The watershed of the stream has an area of Шаблон:Convert. The stream is designated as Class A Wild Trout Waters, but was historically stocked. It has an alkalinity concentration of 2 milligrams per liter, but is slightly acidic. The surficial geology in its vicinity mainly consists of alluvium, Wisconsinan Till, Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift, and bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale.
Course
Conety Run begins on Stony Cabin Ridge in Fairview Township. It flows west for a short distance before turning south-southwest for several tenths of a mile. It then passes through Fountain Lake and turns south for several tenths of a mile. The stream then enters Dennison Township and turns south-southeast. After more than a mile, it turns south-southwest and then south, crossing Pennsylvania Route 437. The stream then flows south-southeast for several tenths of a mile until it reaches its confluence with Little Nescopeck Creek.[2]
Conety Run joins Little Nescopeck Creek Шаблон:Convert upstream of its mouth.[3]
Hydrology
Conety Run is not considered to be impaired.[4] The concentration of alkalinity in Conety Run is 2 milligrams per liter.[5] The stream is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6.2. The concentration of water hardness is 5 milligrams per liter.[6]
The specific conductance of the waters of Conety Run is 22 micro-siemens.[6]
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Conety Run is Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[7] The elevation near the stream's source is between Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[2]
The surficial geology along the lower reaches of Conety Run mainly consists of alluvium. However, bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale, a glacial or resedimented till known as Wisconsinan Till, and a small patch of Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift are also present in the stream's vicinity.[8] In the stream's upper reaches, the surficial geology consists almost entirely of bedrock and Wisconsinan Till.[9]
Watershed
The watershed of Conety Run has an area of Шаблон:Convert.[3] The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of White Haven. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Wilkes-Barre East.[7] The watershed is in the northwestern part of the Nescopeck Creek watershed. The watershed is considerably longer than it is wide.[6]
Considerably more than 80 percent of the watershed of Conety Run is forested land.[6]
There are fewer than Шаблон:Convert of local roads in the watershed of Conety Run. There are only a few miles of state roads in the watershed.[6] Pennsylvania Route 437 is in the vicinity of the stream.[10]
A lake known as Fountain Lake is located near the headwaters of Conety Run.[1]
History
Conety Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1172312.[7]
The community of Glen Summit Springs was historically located near Conety Run. The Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley Railroad also passed through that area.[1]
In 2012, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission requested that Conety Run, along with several dozen other streams in Pennsylvania, be upgraded to High-Quality Coldwater Fishery status. This was requested because of the Class A Wild Trout Waters status of the streams.[11]
Biology
Conety Run is considered by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to be Class A Wild Trout Waters for brook trout from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.[5] It has held this status since at least 2012.[11] However, the stream is considered to be infertile.[6]
Fish were stocked in Conety Run in the early 1960s.[12]
