The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) on Thursday announced that the period for submitting written comments on the proposed Stone Energy Surface Water Withdrawal and Natural Gas Well Site dockets has been extended from March 12 to April 12, 2010.
The extension was in response to requests voiced at the DRBC public hearing held in Matamoras, Pa. on February 24 and at the DRBC business meeting on March 3.
Written comments must be received by 5 p.m. on April 12 via email to Paula.Schmitt@drbc.state.nj.us or may be submitted to the attention of the Commission Secretary, DRBC, either by fax to (609) 883-9522; U.S. Mail to P.O. Box 7360, West Trenton, NJ 08628-0360; or delivery service to 25 State Police Drive, West Trenton, NJ 08628-0360. Regardless of the method of submission, comments should include the name, affiliation (if any) and address of the commenter and the subject line “Public Comment – Stone Energy Dockets.”
Stone Energy Corp. filed applications with the DRBC to operate a natural gas well in Clinton Township, Wayne County, and to withdraw water from the West Branch of the Lackawaxen River for this well, out of a location in adjacent Mount Pleasant Township. An estimated 300 people attended the hearing Feb. 24th, which lasted four hours.
