4 Pa. Code § 118.6 - Implementation of reductions by self-supplied industrial and commercial water users
(a) As
necessary to respond to drought or water shortage conditions, during the
effective period of the Governor's proclamation of drought emergency, the
Commonwealth Drought Coordinator may order equitable reductions of water
withdrawal and use by self-supplied industrial and commercial facilities within
the designated drought emergency area. In determining the amount of equitable
reductions, the Commonwealth Drought Coordinator will consider the following,
in priority order:
(1) The relative impact of
water use reductions upon:
(i) Public health
and safety, including pharmaceutical processes.
(ii) Food and raw fiber production, including
protection of perishable raw or processed products.
(iii) Delivery of electric generation
services.
(iv) Maintenance of
employment.
(2) The
measures and efforts previously undertaken by self-supplied industrial and
commercial facilities to conserve water or to provide for water storage and
releases, and the ability of users to implement additional conservation
measures.
(b) Each owner
or operator of each self-supplied commercial or industrial facility shall
implement, under the contingency plans required under §
118.5 (relating to contingency
plans-self supplied commercial and industrial users) measures that are
necessary to achieve the withdrawal and use reductions ordered by the
Commonwealth Drought Coordinator.
(c) Notice of orders issued by the
Commonwealth Drought Coordinator to implement reductions will be provided to
affected users by notice published in the Pennsylvania
Bulletin and in newspapers of general circulation in the affected area
and by service of the notice by mail or other means within 48 hours of issuance
of the order.
