SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION

Comprehensive Plan; Fee Schedule

[27 Pa.B. 2222]

   Agency:  Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC)

   Action:  Notice of Public Hearing on Addition to Comprehensive Plan; Fee Schedule

   The Susquehanna River Basin Commission will hold two public hearings in conjunction with its regular meeting on May 15, 1997, at the Best Western Eden Resort Inn & Conference Center, 222 Eden Road, Lancaster, PA beginning at 8:30 a.m. The first hearing will be for the purpose of receiving public comments on the inclusion of the proposed Out-of-Basin Diversion Policy and Protocol in the Commission's Comprehensive Plan for Management and Development of the Water Resources of the Susquehanna River Basin. A second hearing will follow thereafter on proposed revisions to the Commission's project review fee schedule.

   Under Section 3.10 of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact, P. L. 91-575, 84 Stat 1509 et seq., the Commission must review and approve all diversions of water from the Susquehanna River Basin. Up to this time, the Commission has adopted no formal policy position or statement on how it will evaluate proposed diversions, but has relied on positions articulated in past docket decisions. This policy establishes the principles that the Commission will consider in the approval of diversions and adds a protocol describing how those principles will be applied. Written comments will also be accepted and made a part of the hearing record.

   The proposed revisions to the fee schedule will abolish the annual compliance monitoring fee for most projects and implement an upfront charge to defray the cost of compliance monitoring. The Commission will also be able to charge an extraordinary project review fee for projects that, because of their complexity, require an extraordinary expenditure of review time by Commission staff. Several other changes are proposed to improve the format and readability of the fee schedule.

   Copies of the entire policy statement and protocol and the proposed revisions to the fee schedule may be obtained upon request to the Commission at 1721 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102-2391, (717) 238-0423. Written comments may be submitted to and further information obtained from Richard A. Cairo, General Counsel.

Executive Director
