BILLING CODE 3510–DR–M

DELAWARE RIVER BASIN

COMMISSION

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking;

Proposed Amendment to the Delaware

River Basin Commission’s Water Code

and Comprehensive Plan To Establish

Water Usage Reporting Requirements

AGENCY: Delaware River Basin

Commission.

SUMMARY: The Delaware River Basin

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) will hold

a public hearing to receive comments on

proposed amendments to its Water Code

and Comprehensive Plan to establish

water usage reporting requirements for

source water withdrawals and water

service. The Commission established

source metering, recording, and

reporting requirements in 1986 for

withdrawals of surface or ground water

in excess of an average of 100,000

gallons per day over a 30-day period,

but it did not specify the types of

information to be reported. The

Commission established service

metering and recording requirements in

1987 for purveyors meeting the same

volume threshold, but it did not require

them to report service by use category.

Thus, key pieces of information are

missing and reported data are

inconsistent among the states, impeding

the Commission’s ability to perform

critical water use analyses. The

Commission now proposes to amend its

regulations to institute reporting

requirements that ensure it has the

source and service information needed

to evaluate how and where water is

being used in the basin. Much of the

data proposed to be collected already

are being collected by the states. The

proposed amendment addresses the

existing data gaps and will greatly

facilitate the Commission’s water use

evaluations.

The existing regulations (DRBC Water

Code Sections 2.50.1 and 2.50.2), the

proposed amendment (proposed Water

Code Section 2.50.3), and supplemental

information are posted on the Delaware

River Basin Commission web site at

http://www.drbc.net.

DATES: The public hearing will be held

on Tuesday, January 9, 2001 during the

Commission’s regular business meeting.

The meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. and

continue until all those present who

wish to testify are afforded an

opportunity to do so. Persons wishing to

testify at the hearing are asked to

register in advance with the

Commission Secretary.

The deadline for submission of

written comments will be December 20,

2000.

ADDRESSES: The public hearing will be

held at the Sykes Student Union,

Rosedale Avenue, West Chester

University, West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Directions to that location will be

posted on the Commission’s web site,

http://www.drbc.net, in December 2000.

Written comments should be submitted

to Pamela M. Bush, Delaware River

Basin Commission, P.O. Box 7360, West

Trenton, NJ 08628–0360.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Please

contact Esther Siskind at 609–883–9500

ext. 202 with questions about the

proposed amendment, and Pamela M.

Bush at ext. 203 with questions about

the rulemaking process.

Dated: November 22, 2000.

Pamela M. Bush,

Commission Secretary.
