The Department of Environmental Protection Thursday reminded water suppliers that reporting deadlines for the 2014 calendar year are coming up. Reports from public water suppliers are due by March 31. Non-public water supplier reports are due by June 30.
The reports are required under DEP’s 25 Pa. Code Chapter 110 Water Resources Planning regulation that establishes water withdrawal and use registration, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Registrants submit annual water use primary facility and sub-facility reports through DEP’s GreenPort. The sub-facility report for each source contains information about the water source, such as the monthly amounts withdrawn or purchased.
The primary facility report for public water suppliers contains overall system information and for those other than public water suppliers identifies how much of the amount of water reported in each source’s sub-facility report was discharged.
Both the primary facility report and sub-facility report(s) (even if source is not used) are required to be submitted to DEP; together they supply invaluable data to government and private sectors for water resource planning and permitting purposes in assessing water resources against existing and projected use demands.
More information on Chapter 110 can be found on DEP’s State Water Plan webpage.
