DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION
Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting; August 7 and
September 5, 2024
Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. A business
meeting will be held the following month on Thursday, September 5,
2024. Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public
and will be conducted virtually.
Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing
virtually on August 7, 2024, 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 7, 2024
will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 12, 2024.
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 5, 2024 will be
held virtually commencing at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of
the Minutes of the Commission's June 5, 2024 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 7,
2024.
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 5, 2024 business meeting on items for which a
hearing was completed on August 7, 2024 or a previous date. Commission
consideration on September 5, 2024 of items for which the public
hearing is closed may result in approval of the item 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.
