DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION
Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting; November 10 and
December 8, 2021
Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. A business
meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, December 8,
2021. Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public.
Both meetings will be conducted remotely. Details about the remote
platform and how to attend will be posted on the Commission's website,
<a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a>, on or after October 29, 2021 for the public hearing and
no later than November 26, 2021 for the business meeting.
Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing
remotely on November 10, 2021, commencing at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items
will include draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and other
projects that could have a substantial effect on the basin's water
resources. The list of draft dockets scheduled for hearing, including
project descriptions, will be posted on the Commission's website,
<a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a>, in a long form of this notice at least ten days before
the hearing date.
Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on November 10,
2021 will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on November 16, 2021.
The public is advised to check the Commission's website
periodically prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing
may be postponed if additional time is needed to complete the
Commission's review, and items may be added up to ten days prior to the
hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the public is also
asked to be aware that the details of projects may change during the
Commission's review, which is ongoing.
Public Meeting. The public business meeting on December 8, 2021
will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include: Adoption of the Minutes of
the Commission's September 09, 2021 business meeting; announcement of
upcoming meetings and events; a report on hydrologic conditions;
reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's General Counsel;
and consideration of any items for which a hearing has been completed
or is not required.
After all scheduled business has been completed and as time allows,
the business meeting will be followed by up to one hour of Open Public
Comment, an opportunity to address the Commission outside the context
of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing, on any topic
concerning management of the Basin's water resources.
There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the
record at the December 8 business meeting on items for which a hearing
was completed on November 10 or a previous date. Commission
consideration on December 8 of items for which the public hearing is
closed may result in approval of the item (by docket or resolution) as
proposed, approval with changes, denial, or deferral. When the
Commissioners defer an action, they may announce an additional period
for written comment on the item, with or without an additional hearing
date, or they may take additional time to consider the input they have
already received without requesting further public input. Any deferred
items will be considered for action at a public meeting of the
Commission on a future date.

on the record during the public hearing on November 10 or to address
the Commissioners informally during the Open Public Comment portion of
