Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) This Part
				  establishes the scope and procedures for review and approval of projects under
				  section 3.10 of the Susquehanna River
				  Basin Compact, Public Law 91-575, 84 stat. 1509 et seq., (the compact) and
				  establishes special standards under section
				  3.4(2) of the
				  compact governing water withdrawals and the consumptive use of water. The
				  special standards established pursuant to section
				  3.4(2) shall be
				  applicable to all water withdrawals and consumptive uses in accordance with the
				  terms of those standards, irrespective of whether such withdrawals and uses are
				  also subject to project review under section
				  3.10. This Part, and every other
				  part of 18 CFR chapter VIII, shall also be incorporated into and made a part of
				  the comprehensive plan.
(b) When
				  projects subject to commission review and approval are sponsored by
				  governmental authorities, the commission shall submit recommendations and
				  findings to the sponsoring agency, which shall be included in any report
				  submitted by such agency to its respective legislative body or to any committee
				  thereof in connection with any request for authorization or appropriation
				  therefor. The commission review will ascertain the project's compatibility with
				  the objectives, goals, guidelines and criteria set forth in the comprehensive
				  plan. If determined compatible, the said project will also be incorporated into
				  the comprehensive plan, if so required by the compact. For the purposes of
				  avoiding conflicts of jurisdiction and of giving full effect to the commission
				  as a regional agency of the member jurisdictions, no expenditure or commitment
				  shall be made by any governmental authority for or on account of the
				  construction, acquisition or operation of any project or facility unless it
				  first has been included by the commission in the comprehensive plan.
(c) If any portion of this Part, or any other
				  part of 18 CFR chapter VIII, shall, for any reason, be declared invalid by a
				  court of competent jurisdiction, all remaining provisions shall remain in full
				  force and effect.
(d) Except as
				  otherwise stated in this Part, this Part shall be effective on January 1,
				  2007.
(e) When any period of time
				  is referred to in this Part, such period in all cases shall be so computed as
				  to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. Whenever the last
				  day of any such period shall fall on Saturday or Sunday, or on any day made a
				  legal holiday by the law of the United States, such day shall be omitted from
				  the computation.
(f) Any commission
				  forms or documents referenced in this Part may be obtained from the commission
				  at 1721 North Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102-2391, or from the commission's
				  website at http://www.srbc.net.
