###### Delaware River Basin Commission

# AGENCY:

Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC).

# ACTION:

Request for water quality data.

# SUMMARY:

                        The DRBC is soliciting readily available water quality data collected between January 1, 2005 and September 30, 2009 for use in development of DRBC's                         *2010 Delaware River and Bay Integrated List Water Quality Assessment Report*                         (Integrated Report). The Integrated Report fulfills the biennial reporting requirement of sections 305(b) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). It identifies water quality standards attained, documents the availability of data and information for each water quality zone, identifies certain trends in water quality conditions, and sets priorities for protecting and restoring the health of the main stem Delaware River and Delaware Bay. The four basin states—New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware—will consider the Integrated Report in developing their lists of impaired waters in accordance with section 303(d) of the CWA. DRBC plans to submit the draft 2010 Integrated Report to USEPA by April 2010.

DRBC must receive data submissions on or before August 31, 2009.
