...to the tune of 150+ MILLION GALLONS PER DAY!
That's over 56 BILLION GALLONS PER YEAR.
Check it out in the April 9th Federal Register here.
The Susquehanna River is running well below the average for this time of year - based upon data going back almost 100 years - and the SRBC keeps approving consumptive use withdrawals and raking in fees for their new headquarters.
From the comments at the top of this blog, people who live along the Susquehanna are witnessing - up close and personal - the desecration and dessication of this ancient watershed. Our Susquehanna's headwaters are being siphoned and sold to the highest bidder, people are being thrown out of their homes...and the "ka-ching ka-ching" of the natural gas industry's money flowing into the SRBC's coffers continues unabated.
The SRBC and DEP have no idea where the tipping point is. None.
Ask them...and listen very closely to what they don't say.
More later.
