Nutrient Trading Program; Stakeholder Involvement Meetings

[35 Pa.B. 6284]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has scheduled two stakeholder involvement meetings for the purpose of collecting public input on the Commonwealth's Nutrient Trading Program (Program) and the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy. Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m. as follows: November 14, 2005, Days Inn, 240 S. Pugh Street, State College, PA; November 15, 2005, Dauphin County Conservation District, 1451 Peters Mountain Road, Dauphin, PA.

   On October 1, 2005, the Department issued interim policy guidelines for the trading of nutrient and sediment reduction credits. See 35 Pa.B. 5431 (October 1, 2005). These guidelines were created to help the Department reach short-term goals related to the Chesapeake Bay and long-term goals of reducing the impairment of existing waterways, producing positive water quality effects locally and downstream and enhancing aquatic habitats and protecting natural resources.

   Interested individuals are invited to attend the meetings to provide input concerning the Department's proposed guidelines. Additional information on the Program can be obtained on the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us/river/river_trading.htm.

   Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact the Department at (717) 772-4785 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
