SRBC To Hold Public Meetings On Proposed Marcellus Shale Rules October 25 & 27
|
|
Susquehanna River Basin Commission has scheduled two public information sessions to explain and answer questions on draft regulations, most of which relate to the approval of natural gas projects, on October 25 in Williamsport and October 27 in Camp Hill, across from Harrisburg.
When SRBC received the initial round of public comments in August on the draft regulations, it was apparent that some of the concerns expressed were the result of misunderstanding not only about the proposed changes but also key elements of SRBC’s regulatory program in general.
“If the public is unclear on the intent of the changes, particularly as they relate to our Approval by Rule program, it’s our job to reach out and better communicate the information,” said SRBC Executive Director Paul Swartz. “By doing so, we believe we can pave a better path forward toward the final rulemaking stage.”
The evening public information sessions will be informal to encourage dialogue and afford ample opportunities for questions from the public. They will start at 7:00 p.m. on both days.
The Williamsport meeting will be held in Holiday Inn, Library Room, 90 Pine Street, Williamsport and the Camp Hill meeting will be held at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel & Convention Center, Keystone D Room (in Convention Center), 1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill.
The proposed regulatory changes, as published in the July 13, 2011 Federal Register, and a summary are available on SRBC’s website. The deadline for written comments on the proposed changes was recently extended to November 10 by SRBC.
