hearing and business meeting are open to the public and will be held at 
the Carvel State Building, 820 North French Street, 2nd Floor 
Auditorium, Wilmington, Delaware.
    Public Hearing. The public hearing on July 9, 2013 will begin at

to the Commission's review, and resolutions to: (a) Reauthorize the 
Toxics Advisory Committee; (b) authorize the Executive Director to 
enter into a contract for water quality sampling and analysis to 
characterize the nature and extent of chronic toxicity in the Delaware

with the Commission's nutrient management strategy. The list of 
projects scheduled for hearing, including project descriptions, is 
currently available in a long form of this notice posted on the 
Commission's Web site, www.drbc.net. Draft dockets and resolutions for 
hearing items will be posted on the Web site approximately ten days 
prior to the hearing date. Written comments on draft dockets and 
resolutions scheduled for hearing on July 9 will be accepted through 
the close of the hearing that day. Time permitting, after the hearing 
on all scheduled matters has been completed, there will be an 
opportunity for public dialogue. Because hearings on particular 
projects may be postponed to allow additional time for the commission's 
review, interested parties are advised to check the Web site 
periodically prior to the hearing date. Postponements, if any, will be 
duly noted there.
    Public Meeting. The business meeting on July 10, 2013 will begin at 
12:15 p.m. and will include the following items: Adoption of the 
Minutes of the Commission's May 8, 2013 business meeting, announcements 
of upcoming meetings and events, a report on hydrologic conditions, 
reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's General Counsel, 
consideration of items for which a hearing has been completed, and a 
public dialogue session. The Commissioners also may consider action on 
matters not subject to a public hearing.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comments at the 
July 10 business meeting on items for which a hearing was completed on 
July 9 or a previous date. Commission consideration on July 10 of items 
for which the public hearing is closed may result in either approval of 
the docket or resolution 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 
meeting of the commission on a future date.
    Advance Sign-Up for Oral Comment. Individuals who wish to comment 
for the record at the public hearing on July 9 or to address the 
Commissioners informally during the public dialogue portion of the
