[Saturday, June 23, 2012]At its regular meeting in Binghamton, NY on June 7, 2012, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (Commission) extended the comment deadline for its proposed Low Flow Protection Policy (Policy) to July 16, 2012. The original comment deadline had been May 16, 2012. On March 15, 2012, the Commission's commissioners approved the release of the proposed Policy for public review and comment. The proposed Policy was developed over the past year—based on scientific advances in ecosystem flow protection—to improve low flow protection standards associated with approved water withdrawals. The Commission will use the final Policy and supporting technical guidance when reviewing withdrawal applications to establish limits and conditions on approvals consistent with the Commission's regulatory standards (18 CFR 806.23 (relating to standards for water withdrawals)).
