Susquehanna River Basin Commission Meets On Low Flow Policy, Water Allocations

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission will conduct its next public business meeting on March 15 8:30 a.m., North Office Building, Hearing Room 1 (ground level), North Street (at Commonwealth Avenue), Harrisburg, Pa.
            The commissioners will act on 60 project applications, a resolution concerning the use of lesser quality water, a Low Flow Protection Policy to be released for public review and comment, and several administrative and financial matters. 
            Given the ample opportunity for public comment on the project applications in advance of the March 15 meeting, SRBC will not be accepting additional comments on the applications or other actions at the meeting.  SRBC held a public hearing on the project applications on February 16 to receive comments and accepted additional written comments through February 27.
            SRBC has instituted rules of conduct for the agency’s business meetings.  Some of those include: 
-- All persons must sign-in and show photo identification;
-- Signage, posters, banners or other display media will be permitted only in designated areas; and
-- The press will be permitted to set up and use video and recording devices in a designated area.  The public will be permitted to use small, hand-held devices that remain in their possession and are used in a non-disruptive manner. 
            For the complete agenda with the list of project applications and the full set of rules of conduct, visit the public participation page on SRBC’s website.
