The Department of Environmental Protection will hold two additional meetings to discuss and obtain feedback on implementation issues related to the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy, as well as the related permitting procedures.

The goal of the meetings is to share ideas to improve predictability and assure that compliance obligations do not upset development plans and schedules. Additionally, DEP hopes to obtain feedback on the efforts.

The additional upcoming meetings are scheduled for:

· May 1 -- 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Susquehanna Room A, North East Regional Office Building, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre; and

· May 18 -- 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Four Points by Sheraton York, 1650 Toronita Street, York.

To confirm your attendance or if you have any questions please contact Ann Smith of the Water Planning Office by email to annsmith@state.pa.us or by phone at 717-772-4785.
