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 July 10, 1997 at the Holiday 
Inn Arena, 2-6 Hawley Street, Binghamton, NY 13901-3199, beginning at 
8:30 a.m. The first hearing will be for the purpose of receiving public 
comments on the inclusion of the proposed Out-of-Basin Diversion Policy 
and Protocol in the Commission's Comprehensive Plan for Management and 
Development of the Water Resources of the Susquehanna River Basin.
    Under Section 3.10 of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact, Pub. Law 
91-575, 84 Stat. 1509 et seq., the Commission must review and approve 
all diversions of water from the Susquehanna River Basin. Up to this 
time, the Commission has adopted no formal policy position or statement 
on how it will evaluate proposed diversions, but has relied on 
positions articulated in past docket decisions. This policy establishes 
the principles that the Commission will consider in the approval of 
diversions and adds a protocol describing how those principles will be 
applied. Written comments will also be accepted and made a part of the 
hearing record.
    Copies of the entire policy statement and protocol 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
