Impact and Impact Assessment:
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection currently uses the Susquehanna River Basin Commission’s passby flow policy Statewide for evaluating impacts of proposed projects on water resources in connection with three Statewide programs, when applicable. This policy is used for Pennsylvania’s water allocation program, Marcellus shale program and drinking water program. This policy may be revised in 2010.
