DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION

Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting, February 5, 2025 
and March 12, 2025

    Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission 
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. A business 
meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. 
Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public, and 
both will be conducted virtually.
    Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing 
virtually on February 5, 2025, commencing at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items 
will include draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and other 
projects that could have a substantial effect on the basin's water 
resources. A list of the projects scheduled for hearing, including 
project descriptions, along with links to draft dockets, will be posted 
on the Commission's website, www.drbc.gov, in a long form of this 
notice at least ten days before the hearing date.
    Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on February 5, 
2025, will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2025.
    The public is advised to check the Commission's website 
periodically during the ten days prior to the hearing date, as items 
scheduled for hearing may be postponed if additional time is needed to 
complete the Commission's review. Items also may be added up to ten 
days prior to the hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the 
public is asked to be aware that the details of projects may change 
during the Commission's review, which is ongoing.
    Business Meeting. The business meeting on March 12, 2025 will be 
held virtually commencing at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of 
the Minutes of the Commission's December 5, 2024 business meeting; 
announcements of upcoming meetings and events; a report on hydrologic 
conditions; reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's 
General Counsel; and consideration of any items for which a hearing has 
been completed or is not required. The agenda is expected to include 
consideration of the draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and 
other projects that are subjects of the public hearing on February 5, 
2025.
    After all scheduled business has been completed and as time allows, 
the business meeting will be followed by up to one hour of Open Public 
Comment, an opportunity to address the Commission off the record on any 
topic concerning management of the Basin's water resources outside the 
context of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the 
record at the March 12, 2025 business meeting on items for which a 
hearing was completed on February 5, 2025 or a previous date. 
Commission consideration on March 12, 2025 of items for which the 
public hearing is closed may result in approval of the item as 
proposed, approval with changes, denial, or deferral. When the 
Commissioners defer an action, they may announce an additional period 
for written comment on the item, with or without an additional hearing 
date, or they may take additional time to consider the input they have 
already received without requesting further public input. Any deferred 
items will be considered for action at a public
