Regulations, Technical Guidance & Permits

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission formally published its regulations on the review of water withdrawals related to Marcellus Shale drilling and a notice of a May 10 public hearing on a series of water withdrawal requests for drilling and non-drilling related projects.

All the items on the April 17 Environmental Quality Board agenda were approved this week, including: proposed rulemaking on the Triennial Review of Water Quality Standards and measurement and reporting of condensable particulate matter, final rulemaking on noncoal mining fees and consideration of a rulemaking petition concerning the Upper and Middle Delaware River.  A process for developing a proposed procedure for the withdrawal of EQB regulations from the regulatory process was discussed, but no action was taken.


The Department of Environmental Protection published notice soliciting comments and setting public meeting and a hearing on the Air Quality Plan Approval for Laser Northeast Gathering Company pipeline project in Susquehanna County.

DEP also published notice of a draft NPDES General Permit for discharges from Aquatic Animal Production Facilities (PAG-11), notice of a draft NPDES General Permit for discharges from Aquatic Animal Production Facilities in High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters (PAG-14), notice of federal consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act and a notice extending the public comment period on the Air Quality General Permit for Natural Gas Production and Processing Facilities.
