What changed
The SRBC published a notice listing 25 consumptive water use approvals issued under its approval-by-rule process at 18 CFR 806.22(f) during March 2026. Projects include renewals for Expand Operating LLC at 14 drilling pads across Bradford, Sullivan, Wyoming, and Susquehanna Counties, and for Diversified Production LLC at Longhorn C-1 in Elk County. Approval amounts range up to 7.5000 million gallons per day.\n\nAffected parties—primarily natural gas drilling operators operating within the Susquehanna River Basin—should note these approvals for compliance tracking.
