What changed

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission published a notice listing consumptive water use approvals issued under 18 CFR 806.22(f) during March 2026. Seventeen renewal approvals were granted for natural gas drilling operations in Pennsylvania counties including Elk, Bradford, Sullivan, Wyoming, and Susquehanna. Most approvals authorize consumptive use of up to 7.5 million gallons per day.

Affected parties include oil and gas operators conducting hydraulic fracturing operations within the Susquehanna River Basin. These approvals renew existing consumptive use authorizations and do not create new compliance obligations beyond existing SRBC regulatory requirements. Operators should maintain records of approved water use quantities and ensure withdrawals remain within authorized limits.

What to do next

  1. Monitor SRBC notices for project approvals in your operating area
  2. Ensure water use compliance with SRBC approval conditions
