    Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission

Trenton Volunteer Fire Company, located at 40 West Upper Ferry Road,

regularly scheduled business meeting, which is open to the public.
    The public hearing to be held during the 1:30 p.m. business meeting 
will NOT include dockets related to natural gas development projects, 
nor will the Commissioners consider action on the Draft Natural Gas

consideration of the draft regulations will occur at a special public 
meeting to be held on October 21, 2011 at 1 p.m. in the Patriots 
Theater at the War Memorial, located at One Memorial Drive in Trenton, 
New Jersey. The Commission accepted written comment on the draft 
regulations through April 15, 2011 and received oral comment during six 
public hearing sessions in February 2011. The Commissioners and staff 
are currently reviewing the voluminous comments received (many of which 
are available for review at drbc.net). The public meeting on October 21 
will not include a public hearing. Additional information about the 
October 21, 2011 meeting will be published separately.

Additional public records relating to the dockets may be examined at 
the Commission's offices. Please contact William Muszynski at 609-883-

meeting on a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to enter 
into a contract with The Nature Conservancy for a study of instream 
flow needs to protect key ecological communities for the range of 
habitats in the Delaware Basin.
    The public is advised that items scheduled for hearing are 
occasionally postponed to allow more time for the Commissioners to
