    NOTE: This area is currently managed by the Division of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Section, from the French Creek District Office along with a number of other Wildlife Management Areas. Consequently, personnel, materials, and equipment are transferred from area to area and would not be available to remain at Big Ditch Lake Wildlife Management Area in the event it was transferred to Parks and Recreation Section. This fiscal note reflects minimum staffing levels, current expenses, repairs and alterations, equipment, and capital improvement needs necessary to operate it as a recreational facility.
