     Under 25 Pa. Code § 93.4d(a) (relating to processing of petitions, evaluations and assessments to change a designated use), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required to publish a notice of intent to assess candidate waters. The Department's assessment notice for this rulemaking petition will appear in a future issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

     The previously-referenced petition is available to the public by contacting the Environmental Quality Board, P. O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477, (717) 787-4526, and is accessible on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (Select ''Public Participation Center,'' then ''Environmental Quality Board,'' then ''EQB Meeting Schedule 2015,'' see ''Meeting Agendas/Minutes/Handouts'' and ''April 21, 2015'').
