Section 20. Enforcement orders.
* * *
(e) The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission may enforce
stream maintenance or clearing activities in this Commonwealth
only when there is a potential violation under 30 Pa.C.S.
(relating to fish) due to a person not having a valid permit or
conducting an activity that was not authorized by the permit.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission shall not find that a
stream maintenance or clearing activity violates 30 Pa.C.S. if
the stream maintenance or clearing activity is general
maintenance of a bridge or culvert. The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission shall not enforce a penalty for a violation
under 30 Pa.C.S. until the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
contacts the department and the relevant county conservation
district to ensure that the stream maintenance or clearing
activity was not authorized by a valid permit.
