Public hearing. The public hearing on December 9, 2014, will begin at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items will include draft dockets for the withdrawals, discharges and other water-related projects listed as follows and for a resolution adopting the Commission's Water Resources Program FY 2015-17.
The hearing also will include an opportunity for docket holders that recently received notices of violation from the Commission in connection with monitoring requirements or effluent limitations contained in their dockets to show cause why a penalty should not be assessed for the alleged violations in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure and Section 14.17 of the Delaware River Basin Compact. Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on December 9, 2014, will be accepted through the close of the hearing that day. After the hearing on all scheduled matters has been completed, the meeting will include an opportunity for public dialogue.
Draft dockets and resolutions scheduled for hearing are posted on the Commission's web site at www.drbc.net 10 days prior to the hearing date. Additional public records relating to the hearing items may be examined at the Commission's offices. Contact Project Review Section assistant Victoria Lawson at (609) 883-9500, Ext. 216, with any questions concerning these items.
The public is advised to check the Commission's web site 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 10 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.
The public is advised that during the public hearing on December 9, 2014, the staff will continue the practice employed during the hearing on September 9, 2014, of offering a shorter presentation than in the past for the subset of draft dockets (hearing items 1—44) that consist of renewals where a project has undergone no substantive changes. Interested parties will have the same opportunity to comment on or ask questions concerning these dockets as they have historically had, and if any member of the public requests additional information about a project during the hearing, staff will be prepared to offer more detail.
