C. 20005 Telephone: 737-6250 The Potomac River Basin Advisory Committee, originally known as the Interstate Advisory Committee on the Potomac River Basin, was created as a result of a conference attended by the Governors of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland and the Presi- dent of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia in Washington, D. C., on April 19, 1965, to coordinate and represent the genuine interests of the states in Potomac Basin planning activity but, most importantly, to advise the heads of government on the best possible permanent interstate organization to plan, develop and man- age the water and related resources of the Potomac River Basin. The Advisory Committee, made up of three representatives from each of the five jurisdictions, has pursued its assignments, and has completed and presented to the governors a proposal for an interstate- federal water resources Compact. After enactment by each of the Basin states and the U. S. Congress, the new Compact will become effective and the Potomac River Basin Commission will come into being to exercise the powers granted by the Compact. Virginia ratified the Compact in 1970, while Maryland enacted it by Chapter 30, Acts of 1971 (Natural Resources Article, sec. 8-301). The Advisory Committee maintains an office in Washington, D. C., with a small administrative staff. The Committee and its staff operate with an annual budget of $60,000, of which Maryland's share is $15,000. DEEP CREEK LAKE COMMISSION Ex officio member: E. L. Bussey, Pennsylvania Electric Company. Appointed members: Aza C. Swanton, Jr., J. P. Franklin, William A. Cook, William G. Savage, Theodore Laskey. The Secretary of Natural Resources appointed this Commission in 1971 at the request of the General Assembly to advise the various State and local agencies, the Pennsylvania Electric Company and commercial and property owners on the planning, use, and develop- ment of the waters of Deep Creek Lake and its surrounding water- shed. Members of the Commission are appointed by the Secretary of Natural Resources with the advice of the Garrett County Board of County Commissioners and serve indefinite terms (Res. No. 73, Acts of 1971). |
