Waterway rule changes questioned
P HARRISBURG - A
spokesman for the Penn
sylvania Chamber of
Commerce told the
Department of En
vironmental Resources that
insufficient consideration
had been given to both the
immediate and long term
economic consequences of
proposed rule making
changes affecting the state’s
waterways.
„ Lynn Ratzell, an en

and a member of the State
Chamber’s pollution

DER that some of the goals

met because of the inability
to control such things as
pollution from natural
sources, acid mine drainage,
and the intensive use of
multiple-use streams by
waterborne transport.”
Ratzell warned DER that
it was proposing to adopt
standards based on numbers
proposed by the federal
Environmental Protection
Agency “that are still under
review.”
Underscoring the fact that
this presents a “moving
target” situation, Ratzell
said the Chamber “questions
the wisdom of issuing
revised state standards that

may have to be changed in
the near future.”
He said the Chamber was
concerned that “regulatory
overkill could further con
tribute to the state’s
stagnant ecomonic climate,
which in turn will affect
jobs.”
Ratzell urged DER to have
its technical advisory
committee further study the
proposed rule making
changes. He also called for a
series of statewide public
hearings where the im
mediate and long range
economic consequences of
the proposed changes could
be reviewed.
