DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION


Notice of Public Hearing and Business Meeting; November 10 and 
December 8, 2021

    Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission 
will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. A business 
meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, December 8, 
2021. Both the hearing and the business meeting are open to the public. 
Both meetings will be conducted remotely. Details about the remote 
platform and how to attend will be posted on the Commission's website, 
www.drbc.gov, on or after October 29, 2021 for the public hearing and 
no later than November 26, 2021 for the business meeting.
    Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing 
remotely on November 10, 2021, 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. The list of draft dockets scheduled for hearing, including 
project descriptions, 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 November 10, 
2021 will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on November 16, 2021.
    The public is advised to check the Commission's website 
periodically prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing 
may be postponed if additional time is needed to complete the 
Commission's review, and items may be added up to ten days prior to the 
hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the public is also 
asked to be aware that the details of projects may change during the 
Commission's review, which is ongoing.
    Public Meeting. The public business meeting on December 8, 2021 
will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include: Adoption of the Minutes of 
the Commission's September 09, 2021 business meeting; announcement 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.
    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 outside the context 
of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing, on any topic 
concerning management of the Basin's water resources.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the 
record at the December 8 business meeting on items for which a hearing 
was completed on November 10 or a previous date. Commission 
consideration on December 8 of items for which the public hearing is 
closed may result in approval of the item (by 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 
on the record during the public hearing on November 10 or to address 
the Commissioners informally during the Open Public Comment portion of 
the meeting on December 8 are asked to sign up in advance through
