2026-14150, Grandfathering Registration Notice
If you run a water-related project in the Susquehanna River Basin, this notice is for you! The Commission has officially listed projects that got 'grandfathered' registrations during June 2026, meaning they’re recognized under old rules before new ones kick in. This keeps things fair and clear—no surprise fees or changes for these projects right now.
2026-11968, Projects Approved for Consumptive Uses of Water
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission approved several projects in May 2026 that use water for things like manufacturing and energy drilling. These approvals let companies withdraw millions of gallons of water daily, mostly in Pennsylvania townships. If you’re involved in these industries, keep an eye on these renewals and new permits—they shape water use and could impact local water supplies and operations.

These moves affect local communities and businesses by managing water use carefully, with some projects allowing up to 5 million gallons per day, starting immediately.
2026-09314, Grandfathering Registration Notice
If you run a water project in the Susquehanna River Basin, this notice is for you!
