Marsh/Rock Creek Water Resources Management Plan; Project Kick-Off Meeting
[40 Pa.B. 5249]
[Saturday, September 11, 2010]The pilot Water Resources Management Plan for Marsh and Rock Creeks kick-off meeting will be held Tuesday, September 21, 2010, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Adams County Agricultural Center.
The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin is partnering with concerned stakeholders of Adams County and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under 27 Pa.C.S. Chapter 31 (relating to water resources planning) to assist with a pilot assessment of Rock and Marsh Creeks. Local input from the watershed's many stakeholders (local government, water suppliers, agricultural users, citizens watershed groups, anglers) working together will best direct future water policy in this watershed.
As one of the first of its kind in this Commonwealth, the assessment will examine the challenges to clean, sustainable water supplies in the watershed, assess the amounts that can be safely used, and find ways to deliver a sustainable water supply while maintaining water quality and other community values. Additionally, a successful process in this watershed can be used as a template in other areas of this Commonwealth.
The purpose of this meeting is to: (1) introduce the project to prospective advisory committee members and the general public; (2) identify participants' concerns on issues facing the watersheds; (3) discuss ways for developing recommendations as an outcome of this project; and (4) nominate project advisory committee members for consideration by the Potomac Regional Committee.
The meeting schedule, an agenda and meeting materials will be available through the Public Participation Center on the Department's web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: Participate).
