Notice of Public Hearing on

Water Withdrawal Project 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Delaware River Basin Commission 

(DRBC or ‘‘Commission’’) will hold a 

public hearing on Wednesday, 

September 23, 2009 on revised proposed 

Docket No. D–2009–20–1 for 

Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC (also, 

‘‘Chesapeake’’). The hearing will be held 

at the PPL Corporation Wallenpaupack 

Environmental Learning Center, 126 

PPL Drive, Hawley, Pennsylvania 

18428–0122. The hearing will begin at 

10 a.m. and will continue until all those 

who wish to speak have had an 

opportunity to do so. No other 

Commission business will be conducted 

at the September 23, 2009 hearing. 

Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC applied 

to the Commission for approval of a 

surface water withdrawal project to 

supply a maximum of 29.99 mg/30 days 

of water for the applicant’s exploration 

and development of natural gas wells in 

the State of New York and the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

Surface water is proposed to be 

withdrawn from the West Branch of the 

Delaware River at a location known as 

the Cutrone Site in Buckingham 

Township, Wayne County, 

Pennsylvania. The project is located in 

the Delaware River Watershed within 

the drainage area of the section of the 

non-tidal Delaware River known as the 

Upper Delaware, which is designated as 

Special Protection Waters. 

The Commission held a public 

hearing on an initial draft of Docket D– 

2009–20–1 at its business meeting of 

July 15, 2009 in Bethlehem, 

Pennsylvania. It heard testimony on the 

draft docket from approximately 40 

witnesses on that date. Voluminous 

written comment was submitted on or 

before the July 15 hearing. In light of the 

high level of public interest in the 

project, the Commission took no action 

on the docket on July 15, and on that 

date it extended the written comment 

period through July 29, 2009. 

Approximately 1,200 written comments 

(excluding petitions) were received on 

the docket by the close of the comment 

period. After review and consideration 

of these comments, the Commission and 

staff are developing a revised draft 

docket, which will be posted on the 

Commission’s Web site, http:// 

www.drbc.net, on or before the close of 

business on Friday, September 11, 2009. 

Public comment is requested on those 

aspects of the docket that have been 

substantively modified. A list of these 

aspects will be provided on the 

Commission’s Web site at the time the 

revised draft is posted. 

Additional public records relating to 

the draft Chesapeake docket are 

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
