-- Recreational Use; and

-- Other Topics addressed by the FFMP.

The Listening Sessions will be held at two locations in the Delaware River Basin. The program at each location will consist of a brief overview of the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court Decree, and the roles and responsibilities of the Decree Party Principals, the Delaware River Master, and the Delaware River Basin Commission.
