DELAWARE RIVER BASIN 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Hearing on Stone 

Energy Corporation Proposed Surface 

Water Withdrawal and Natural Gas Well 

Site 

SUMMARY: Because of the high level of 

public interest in projects within the 

Delaware Basin that are associated with 

natural gas drilling activities, the 

Delaware River Basin Commission 

(DRBC or ‘‘Commission’’) will hold a 

special public hearing on two projects 

sponsored by the Stone Energy 

Corporation (hereinafter, ‘‘Stone 

Energy’’) to support natural gas 

exploration and development activities 

within the basin. One of the two 

projects entails a surface water 

withdrawal from the West Branch 

Lackawaxen River in Mount Pleasant 

Township, Pennsylvania (Docket No. D– 

2009–13–1). The other concerns an 

existing natural gas well drilling pad 

site in Clinton Township, Pennsylvania 

(Docket No. D–2009–18–1). Both 

projects are located in Wayne County, 

Pennsylvania, within the drainage area 

of a portion of the main stem Delaware 

River that the Commission has classified 

as Special Protection Waters. 

DATES: The hearing will take place on 

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 from 3 

p.m. until 7 p.m. Written comments will 

be accepted until 5 p.m. on March 12, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: The hearing will take place 

at the Best Western Inn at Hunt’s 

Landing, 126 Routes 6 & 209, 

Matamoras, Pennsylvania 18336, 

beginning at 3 p.m. and ending at 7 p.m. 

Written comments may be submitted at 

the hearing and may also be sent as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Draft 

dockets. Dockets Nos. D–2009–13–1 

(water withdrawal) and D–2009–18–1

Hearing Procedure. In order to give 

everyone who wishes to testify a fair 

and equal opportunity to do so at the 

public hearing, which is expected to be 

heavily attended, the following 

procedures will be in effect: 

• Registration to testify. Individuals 

who wish to speak at the hearing will 

be requested to print their names on a 

numbered list and complete a separate 

DRBC commenter card. Registrations to 

present oral testimony will begin at 

approximately 2:30 p.m. (30 minutes 

prior to the beginning of the hearing) 

and will continue until the hearing is 

closed. There will be no advance 

registration prior to February 24. For the 

convenience of those who wish to 

speak, more than one registration list 

may be used. Accordingly, speakers will 

be called in roughly, but not exactly, the 

order in which they registered. 

• Time allowances. In order to allow 

everyone who wishes to speak an 

opportunity to do so, individuals will be 

allotted no more than three minutes to 

present their oral testimony. Speakers 

will not be permitted to cede their time 

to others; however, after everyone who 

wishes to speak has had a chance to do 

so, the hearing officer will accept 

requests from those who wish to 

supplement their earlier remarks. 

Individuals who have prepared written 

testimony are asked to summarize their 

comments during the three-minute 

period for oral testimony and to submit 

their complete written comments either 

at the public hearing or via e-mail, fax, 

U.S. Mail, delivery service, or hand 

delivery in accordance with the 

ADDRESSES section above, before 5 p.m. 

on March 12. 

• Stenographic record. A court 

stenographer will be present to capture 

all verbal comments for the public 

record. 

• Other. The sole purpose of the 

hearing on February 24 is to provide 

members of the public with an 

opportunity for oral testimony on the 

proposed Stone Energy dockets. The 

Commissioners and staff will not 

respond to comments at the hearing, nor 

will they conduct any other business 

that day. Because a separate hearing on 

the Stone Energy dockets is being held 

on February 24, oral testimony on these 

dockets will not be accepted during the 

Commission’s regularly scheduled 

business meeting and public hearing on 

March 3, 2010. A separate notice will be 

published listing the hearing items and 

other matters to be considered during 

the meeting on March 3. 

Project Descriptions. Detailed 

descriptions of the two projects are 

included in the draft dockets posted on 

the Commission’s Web site (DRBC.net) 

as links from this notice. Brief 

descriptions of the two projects follow: 

Stone Energy Corporation D–2009–13– 

1. An application for approval of a

mgd) of water from a withdrawal point 

located on the West Branch Lackawaxen 

River in Mount Pleasant Township,

Wayne County, Pennsylvania within the 

drainage area of the section of the 

Delaware River classified as Special 

Protection Waters (SPW). The water will 

be used to support natural gas well 

stimulation activities in an existing well 

located in Clinton Township, Wayne 

County, Pennsylvania (the Matoushek 

#1 well), also within the drainage area 

of SPW, and in proposed natural gas 

wells targeting the Marcellus Shale 

geologic formation within the SPW 

drainage area in the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania. Flow-back water from 

well stimulation activities is proposed 

to be exported to approved treatment 

facilities located outside of the Delaware 

River Basin. 

Stone Energy Corporation D–2009–18– 

1. An application for approval of an 

existing natural gas well drilling pad 

site, including an existing vertically 

orientated natural gas well known as 

Matoushek #1, located in Clinton 

Township, Wayne County, 

Pennsylvania. The well is proposed to 

be stimulated through hydraulic 

fracturing from a proposed surface water 

source. An application for the proposed 

surface water withdrawal is being 

reviewed by the Commission under 

Docket No. D–2009–13–1. The proposed 

surface water withdrawal is located on 

the West Branch Lackawaxen River in 

Mount Pleasant Township, Wayne 

County, Pennsylvania. The target gas 

bearing geologic formation of 

Matoushek #1 is the Devonian-age 

Marcellus Shale. Flow-back water 

resulting from stimulation activities at 

the well is proposed to be exported to 

approved treatment facilities outside of 

the Delaware River Basin. The proposed 

drilling site is located within the 

drainage area of the section of the nontidal Delaware River known as the 

Upper Delaware, which is designated as 

Special Protection Waters. 

Additional public records relating to 

the draft Stone Energy docket may be 

available for review consistent with 

Article 8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (RPP) governing 

public access to records and 

information. The RPP are also available 

on the Commission’s Web site, http:// 

www.drbc.net. 

Individuals in need of an 

accommodation as provided for in the 

Americans with Disabilities Act who 

wish to attend the hearing should 

contact the Commission secretary 

directly at 609–883–9500 ext. 203 or

Abstract: The Early Childhood 

Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class 

of 2010–11 (ECLS–K:2011) is a survey 

that focuses on children’s early school 

experiences beginning with 

kindergarten and continuing through 

the fifth grade. It includes interviews 

with parents, teachers, school 

administrators, and non-parental care 

providers, as well as direct child 

assessments. This submission updates 

the field test submission of fiscal year 

2009 (OMB# 1850–0750 v.5), 

summarizes the field test results, and 

includes the final instruments to be 

used for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 

kindergarten national data collection, 

with collection activities scheduled to 

begin in Summer 2010. This package 

also outlines and seeks a 60-day federal 

register notice waiver for the upcoming 

OMB clearance submission for (1) a 

possible addition of vision and hearing 

screenings to the kindergarten data 

collection and (2) the Fall 2011 first 

grade recruitment and data collection, 

Spring 2012 first grade recruitment 

materials and recruitment burden, and 

for tracking students for the first and 

second grade data collections—all of 

which are expected to have only minor 

changes to the materials, instruments, 

and processes already approved in the 

field test package (OMB# 1850–0750 

v.5).
