DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION


Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting February 14 and 
March 14, 2018

    Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission 
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. A business 
meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, March 14, 2018. 
The hearing and meeting are open to the public and will be held at the 
Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center, 1112 River Road, 
Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.
    Public Hearing. The public hearing on February 14, 2018 will begin 
at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items subject to the Commission's review will 
include draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and other water-
related projects, as well as resolutions: (a) To adopt the fiscal year 
2018-2020 Water Resources Program; (b) to clarify and restate the 
Commission's policy for the replacement of water consumptively used by 
electric generating or cogenerating facilities during critical 
hydrologic conditions; and (c) to reauthorize the Regulated Flow 
Advisory Committee's (RFAC) Subcommittee on Ecological Flows (SEF).
    The list of projects scheduled for hearing, including project 
descriptions, and the text of the proposed resolutions will be posted 
on the Commission's website, www.drbc.net, in a long form of this 
notice at least ten days before the hearing date.
    Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on February 14 
will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on February 20.
    The public is advised to check the Commission's website 
periodically prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing 
may be postponed if additional time is deemed necessary to complete the 
Commission's review, and items may be added up to ten days prior to the 
hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the public is also 
asked to be aware that project details commonly change in the course of 
the Commission's review, which is ongoing.
    Public Meeting. The public business meeting on March 14, 2018 will 
begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of the Minutes of the 
Commission's December 13, 2017 Business Meeting, announcements of 
upcoming meetings and events, a report on hydrologic conditions, 
reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's General Counsel, 
and consideration of any items for which a hearing has been completed 
or is not required. The latter are expected to include a resolution 
authorizing the Commission to procure janitorial services based on a 
competitive bidding process.
    After all scheduled business has been completed and as time allows, 
the Business Meeting will be followed by up to one hour of Open Public 
Comment, an opportunity to address the Commission on any topic 
concerning management of the basin's water resources, outside the 
context of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the 
record at the March 14 Business Meeting on items for which a hearing 
was completed on February 14 or a previous date. Commission 
consideration on March 14 of items for which the public hearing is 
closed may result in approval of the item (by docket or resolution) as 
proposed, approval with changes, denial, or deferral. When the 
Commissioners defer an action, they may announce an additional period 
for written comment on the item, with or without an additional hearing 
date, or they may take additional time to consider the input they have 
already received without requesting further public input. Any deferred 
items will be considered for action at a public meeting of the 
Commission on a future date.
    Advance Sign-Up for Oral Comment. Individuals who wish to comment 
on the record during the public hearing on February 14 or to address 
the Commissioners informally during the Open Public Comment portion of 
the meeting on March 14 as time allows, are asked to sign-up in advance 
through EventBrite, the online registration process recently introduced 
by the Commission. Links to EventBrite for the Public Hearing and the 
Business Meeting are available at drbc.net. For assistance, please 
contact Ms. Paula Schmitt of the Commission staff, at 
paula.schmitt@drbc.nj.gov.
    Addresses for Written Comment. Written comment on items scheduled 
for hearing may be made through SmartComment, the web-based comment 
system recently introduced by the Commission, a link to which is posted 
at drbc.net. Although use of SmartComment is strongly preferred, 
comments may also be delivered by hand at the public hearing; or by 
hand, U.S. Mail or private carrier to Commission Secretary, P.O. Box 
7360, 25 Cosey Road, West Trenton, NJ 08628. For assistance, please 
contact Paula Schmitt at paula.schmitt@drbc.nj.gov.
