Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting; February 4, 2026
and March 4, 2026
Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. A business
meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public and
both will be conducted virtually.
Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing
virtually on February 4, 2026, 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 February 4,
2026 will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 9, 2026.
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 March 4, 2026 will begin
at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of the Minutes of the
Commission's December 10, 2025 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 February 4, 2026.
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
[[Page 2338]]
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 March 4, 2026 business meeting on items for which a
hearing was completed on February 4, 2026 or a previous date.
Commission consideration on March 4, 2026 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.
