	DRBC - Flood Advisory Committee Report to the Commissioners (July 17, 2002)
		The Delaware River Basin Commission Flood Advisory Committee (FAC) was established in response to Resolution 2000-8 adopted March 7, 2000 by the Delaware River Basin Commission and held its first meeting on September 7, 2000.
		The task force has endorsed the Delaware Basin proposal and recommended funding to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State and Judiciary by letter of March 15, 2002.
		The FAC recommendations and suggested implementation strategy pertaining to the basin flood warning system are discussed and explained in detail in the DRBC staff report as recently revised entitled, "Recommendations to Address Flood Warning Deficiencies in the Delaware River Basin," which is in the commission meeting folders.

	Delaware Basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All three basins were south of the equator, north of the Ouachita Mountains of mid-Texas, and part of the northern continent Laurasia.
		Subsidence of the Delaware Basin restarted later in the mid Permian and by the Guadalupian epoch of the upper Permian the patch reefs had grown larger.
		Delaware Basin was filled at least to the top of Capitan Reef and mostly covered by dry land before the end of the Ochoan epoch.

		The Delaware Basin is a deep, prolific gas basin located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.
		The Tobosa Basin was transformed into three major features, the Delaware Basin on the west, the Central Basin Platform (CBP) in the middle, and the Midland Basin, a shallower basin, to the east.
		Rivers from the mountains to the north ran into the Delaware Basin, and thus huge amounts of erosional material of all types were carried into this basin.

		More significantly, the Delaware estuary is hydrologically connected to the Chesapeake Bay by the C and D Canal, an important shipping link between the ports of Philadelphia, Camden and Wilmington on the Delaware and the port of Baltimore.
		The Delaware River Basin Commission was founded in 1961, partly out of concern for water allocations and out-of-basin transfers in the New York portion of the basin.

	Delaware Basin Stratigraphy
		This brief discussion is for the purpose of setting the context for understanding the relationship of the Midland Basin salts to the Delaware Basin adjacent to the study area.
		The Salado Formation in the Delaware Basin was examined in the Gulf Research PDB-03 core has a log response similar to the Salado Formation of the Midland Basin.
		Anhydrite bed IV is a composite of multiple genetic units and, therefore, the stratigraphy and facies relationships are complex over much of the Delaware Basin as well as all of the study area (Hovorka, 1990); it is therefore difficult to identify and correlate a contact between the Castile and the Salado Formations.

		Under the Delaware River Basin Commission's (DRBC's) drought operating plan, out-of-basin water diversions to New York City and New Jersey were cut back an additional 15 percent and the amount of water released from the three reservoirs into the Delaware River also was further reduced in an effort to stretch existing supplies.
		When the basin entered the first stage of drought warning on December 14, the water diversion from the Delaware River to northern New Jersey through the D&R Canal was reduced from 100 mgd to 85 mgd.
		Delaware counties partially in the basin: Kent (65%), New Castle (90%), and Sussex (20%).

		The third largest basin is the Delaware, which drains the eastern 14 percent of the state.
		In the eighteenth century, Pennsylvania’s portion of the basin was the scene for intense rivalry between the English and French as well as between the colonies of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
		The Gunpowder is not part of the Susquehanna basin since it reaches the bay south of Havre de Grace and is therefore a small portion of the state outside of the five major basins.

	DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION
		The Delaware River Basin Commission was created in May of 1961 largely as a result of a 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established a court ordered formula under which the river states and New York City must share Delaware waters.
		Its membership consists of the governors of the signatory states, an ex-officio, and one commissioner to be appointed by the President of the U.S. The members, who serve without compensation, are to appoint an alternate to serve during absences, and each member has a single vote, with rulings by the majority.
		Fairly autonomous by its structure, the Delaware River Basin Commission is accountable to the individual state legislatures, whose appropriations provide its funding, and to whom it must issue an annual report.

		The general depositional history of the Permian Basin is that of carbonate deposition in a broad, shallow marine environment, shallowing upward, terminating with massive evaporites deposited as the basin desiccates.
		The result is variations in the trends of folds and faults in the Delaware Basin caused by the rotation of individual blocks as depicted in Figure 2.3.
		Deformation associated with the Laramide Orogeny occurred to the west and north of the region, however, the Permian Basin was uplifted and tilted to the southeast.

	Delaware River Basin drought warning triggered
		The warning was issued by the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) which manages the water resources in the 13,539 square-mile basin, stretching some 330 miles from the Delaware River's headwaters in New York State to the mouth of the Delaware Bay.
		The Delaware and its tributary rivers and streams drain portions of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York.
		In return, it must release sufficient water into the Delaware to meet a downstream flow target of 1,750 cubic feet per second (cfs) at Montague, N.J., located just downstream of Port Jervis, N.Y. In addition, the DRBC directs releases from two lower basin reservoirs to maintain a flow target of 3,000 cfs at Trenton.

		The basin plan is a 30-year, goal-based framework that will serve as a guide for all stakeholders – government and non-governmental alike – whose actions affect water resources in the 13,539-square-mile Delaware River Basin that drains portions of the four states.
		Several public meetings were held throughout the basin since 2001 to gather input and broaden awareness of the plan beyond the valued group of stakeholders who participated most closely in its development over the past three years.
		The DRBC was formed in 1961 by compact among the four basin states and the federal government.

		In addition, minimum flow targets in the Delaware River were lowered from 1,750 to 1,550 cubic feet per second at Montague, N.J. and from 3,000 to 2,700 cubic feet per second at Trenton, N.J. Releases from basin reservoirs are used to meet these targets.
		October was extremely dry throughout the basin, with an average of less than one inch of rainfall.
		In response to the dry conditions, Pennsylvania has declared drought warnings in the Delaware River Basin counties of Chester, Lancaster, and Lebanon, and drought watches in Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Delaware, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, Pike, Schuylkill, and Wayne counties.

	Delaware Basin Commission approves new standards for wastewater discharge to Delaware River
		The Delaware River Basin Commission is an interstate/federal regulatory agency that manages the water resources in the 13,539 square-mile basin, which drains portions of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
		The regulations, which take effect Jan. 1, 1997, were crafted in response to 1987 amendments to the federal Clean Water Act which required states to adopt water quality criteria for toxic pollutants and identify those stretches of waterways where the criteria were being exceeded.
		In an effort to meet the federal mandate, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey independently developed criteria for the tidal reach of the Delaware, which serves at the states' common border.
