No. 22

(Senate Joint Resolution 29)

Senate Joint Resolution urging the State of New York and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to refrain from decisions to
divert water from the Susquehanna River Basin pending the crea-
tion of a Tri-State Compact to manage the water resources of
the Susquehanna River Basin.

The General Assembly of Maryland requests the State of New
York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to make no further
diversions of water from the Susquehanna River Basin until after
the pending Compact among the State of New York, the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, and the State of Maryland is completed
and adopted.

For a number of years important and vital studies have moved
forward concerning the Susquehanna River Basin. Thus, the Inter-
state Advisory Commission on the Susquehanna River Basin, with
legislative and executive appointees from all three States, has given
detailed and careful scrutiny to possibilities for an interstate Com-
pact in which the three States would join in the administration of
the water resources of the entire Susquehanna River Basin. This
group is now nearing the completion of its work and within months
should be able to submit a proposed Compact to the legislative bodies
of the three States.

In addition, and also for a number of years, the Susquehanna
River Basin Coordinating Committee has been attempting concerted
action of State and Federal agencies in relation to the Susquehanna
River Basin. This group was formed originally by the Corps of
Engineers, and it contains appointees of the several governments,
with the group making studies of the work done in the Susquehanna
River Basin by the Corps of Engineers.
