PA HB961

Requires the Department of Environmental Protection to maintain a list of run-of-the-river dams and share identifying information about permittees, owners, locations, sizes, and specifications with the Fish and Boat Commission annually

Mandates publication of the dam list and a statewide map showing all run-of-the-river dam locations on both the department's and commission's public websites within one year

Reduces the timeframe for dam owners to repair or replace damaged warning signs and buoys from 30 days to 15 days, with extensions available upon commission approval

Shortens the compliance period from six months to three months for permittees or owners who lose appeals to the Environmental Hearing Board regarding dam classification

Changes violation periods for penalty calculations from monthly to every 15 days of noncompliance, with first-degree summary offenses for initial violations escalating to third-degree misdemeanors for subsequent offenses
