Water Resources Forums; Announcement of Three Additional Forums

[31 Pa.B. 2075]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in partnership with the Governor's Center for Local Government Services of the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture, announced in the March 24, 2001, Pennsylania Bulletin that 12 public forums have been scheduled to collect public input on Pennsylvania's current and future water resource needs. Three additional forums have been added in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Lancaster, bringing the total number of Statewide forums to 15. The complete list of forums is included in this notice.

   The forums are an opportunity for the State to hear what Pennsylvanians have to say about water resource issues. In an effort to promote and focus discussion, two questions have been developed that will be presented to the attendees:

   *  What one water resource need or issue do you feel needs greatest attention in your community?

   *  What tools do we need to help ensure adequate water supplies in Pennsylvania?

   The forums will begin at 7 p.m. There will also be water resource related state agency exhibits and information on display from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no cost to attend the forums and registration is not required. For additional information, contact:

   Kimberly Chism, DEP Office of Water Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063, [phone] or visit the DEP website at www.dep.state.pa.us (directLINK ''Water Forums'').
