SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION

 

Comprehensive Plan

AGENCY: Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC).

ACTION: Notice of Public Hearing on Addition to Comprehensive Plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Susquehanna River Basin Commission will hold a public hearing 
in conjunction with its regular meeting on November 10, 1994 at the 
Commission's Headquarters Building, 1721 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, 
Pa. beginning at 8:30 a.m. This hearing will be for the purpose of 
receiving public comments on the proposed inclusion of the ``Chesapeake 
Bay Policy for the Introduction of Non-Indigenous Aquatic Species'' in 
the Commission's Comprehensive Plan for Management and Development of 
the Water Resources of the Susquehanna River Basin.'' This policy, 
which was adopted in November 1993 by five jurisdictions with waters 
draining to the Chesapeake and the Chesapeake Bay Commission, opposes 
the first-time introduction of any non-indigenous aquatic species into 
the unconfined waters of the Chesapeake and its tributaries for any 
reason unless environmental and economic evaluations are conducted and 
reviewed in order to ensure that risks associated with the first-time 
introductions are acceptably low. Written comments will also be 
accepted and made a part of the hearing record.
    Copies of the entire policy statement may be obtained upon request 
to the Commission at 1721 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 17102-2391; 
717-238-0423. Written comments may be submitted to and further 
information obtained from Richard A. Cairo, General Counsel/Secretary 
at the same address and phone number.

    Dated: October 4, 1994.
Paul O. Swartz,
Executive Director.
