ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of public hearing. AGENCY: The Delaware River Basin Commission (‘‘Commission’’) proposes to amend its Water Quality Regulations (‘‘WQR’’), Water Code and Comprehensive Plan by adding a new Article 7 to the WQR providing for the conservation and development of water resources of the Delaware River Basin during the implementation of natural gas development projects. This Article applies to all natural gas development projects involving siting, construction or use of production, exploratory or other wells in the Basin regardless of the target geologic formation, and to water withdrawals, well pad and related activities and wastewater disposal activities comprising part of, associated with or serving such projects. DATES: Comments must be received on or before close of business on March 16, 2011. Public hearings are scheduled for February 17 and 22, 2011.

This Web page provides instructions on how to submit comments, a copy of the draft regulations, supporting documents and information about the public hearings and informational sessions, and access to the public comment collection system. The Commission will only accept comments received through the electronic comment collection system accessible through its Web page, during the public hearing or at the addresses listed above. Comment received through any other method, including email, fax and telephone, will not be considered or included in the record. Public Hearings: Three public hearings will be held. The hearings are tentatively scheduled for February 17, 2010 near the Commission office and February 22, 2011 in Wayne County, Pennsylvania and Sullivan County, New York. The exact times, locations, directions, and other details about these meetings will be posted on the Commission’s Web page as they become available: https://www.state.nj.us/drbc/ notice_naturalgas-draftregs.htm. Purpose, Authority and Scope: The Commission is proposing a new Article 7 of DRBC’s Water Quality Regulations to protect the water resources of the Basin during the construction and operation of natural gas development projects. This Article applies to all natural gas development projects involving siting, construction or use of production, exploratory or other wells PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 295 in the Basin regardless of the target geologic formation, and to water withdrawals, well pad and related activities and wastewater disposal activities comprising part of, associated with or serving such projects. The provisions of this Article rely on the state oil and gas regulatory programs of Pennsylvania and New York where separate administration by the Commission would result in unnecessary duplication. The Article supersedes the Executive Director’s Determinations issued on May 19, 2009, June 14, 2010 and July 23, 2010. This Article implements the statutory authority that the Basin states of Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and the federal government granted to the Commission in the Delaware River Basin Compact and supplements the Commission’s Comprehensive Plan with respect to natural gas development projects within the Basin. Commission regulations are one mechanism by which the Basin states and Federal government work together to manage water resources in an integrated manner for the benefit of all citizens of the Basin. Strategic Regulatory Framework: This Article’s regulatory framework is divided into sections addressing water sources for natural gas development, well pad siting, and wastewater disposal. The Commission primarily relies on the oil and gas programs and the experienced agency staff of the state in which the natural gas well is located to manage well construction and operation. Water Sources for Uses Related to Natural Gas Well Development: Existing Commission regulations establish a program for regulating water withdrawals. These Commission requirements serve multiple water resources objectives including, among others, preserving river flows to protect in-stream living resources and downstream withdrawers, and ensuring adequate assimilative capacity for approved discharges. The Commission has in other regulations established thresholds for project review based on the thirty-day average volume of water withdrawals. Water withdrawals for natural gas development including high volume hydraulic fracturing may have substantial water quality impacts due to their high intermittent daily withdrawal volume. Consequently, this Article requires that water used for natural gas development projects must come from water sources that have been approved by the Commission for use for natural gas development. The requirements for approval are designed to protect minimum stream flows, provide a E:\FR\FM\04JAP1.SGM 04JAP1
