DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION
Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting; August 9 and
September 7, 2023
Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, August 9, 2023. A business
meeting will be held the following month on Thursday, September 7,
2023. Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public
and both will be conducted remotely. Details about the remote platforms
for the public hearing and the business meeting will be posted on the
Commission's website, <a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a>, at least ten days prior to the
respective hearing and meeting dates. Both the public hearing and the
business meeting will be streamed live on the Commission's YouTube
channel.
Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing
virtually on August 9, 2023, 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. A
list of the projects scheduled for hearing, including project
descriptions, along with links to draft docket approvals, 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 August 9, 2023
will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 14, 2023.
The public is advised to check the Commission's website
periodically during the ten days prior to the hearing date, as items
scheduled for hearing may be postponed if additional time is needed to
complete the Commission's review. Items also may be added up to ten
days prior to the hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the
public is asked to be aware that the details of projects may change
during the Commission's review, which is ongoing.
Business Meeting. The business meeting on September 7, 2023 will
begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of the Minutes of the
Commission's June 7, 2023 business meeting; announcements 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. The agenda is expected to include consideration of the
draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and other projects that were
subjects of the public hearing on August 9, 2023.
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 off the record on any
topic concerning management of the basin's water resources outside the
context of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing.
There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the
record at the September 7, 2023 business meeting on items for which a
hearing was completed on August 9, 2023 or a previous date. Commission
consideration on September 7, 2023 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.
Advance Registration and Sign-Up for Oral Comment. Links for
registration to attend the public hearing and the business meeting will
be posted at <a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a> at least ten days before each meeting date.

on August 9, 2023 or to address the Commissioners informally during the
Open Public Comment session following the meeting on September 7, 2023
as time allows, will be asked to so indicate when registering. The
Commission's public hearing, business meeting, and Open Public Comment
session will also be livestreamed on YouTube at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DRBC_1961">https://www.youtube.com/@DRBC_1961</a>. For assistance, please contact Ms. Patricia
