Nutrient Trading Program Listening Session

[35 Pa.B. 6591]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has scheduled an additional listening session for the purpose of collecting public input on the Commonwealth's Nutrient Trading Program and the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy. The session will begin at 6 p.m. on December 12, 2005, at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, PA. The Department previously convened two other listening sessions, which were held on November 14 and 15, 2005 in State College and Dauphin, PA, respectively.

   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. The Department is accepting public comments on the Interim Final Nutrient Trading Policy until December 31, 2005 (see 35 Pa.B. 6590 December 3, 2005)).

   Interested individuals are invited to attend the meeting to provide input concerning the Department's proposed guidelines. Additional information on the Commonwealth's Nutrient Trading Program can be obtained on the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us/river/river_trading.htm or by contacting the Department's Water Planning Office, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063, (717) 772-4785.
