A32-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 11,2003 (Continued from Page AID) are generally required to provide metered information. The majori ty of agricultural water users are not expected to exceed that amount and will be given alter nate methods to estimate water use and withdrawal. Because of the rapid expansion of businesses and new housing into rural areas, a stress has been put on both surface and ground water supplies. Local officials will now be able to consider how much water is being used and how much is still available, and limit development before water use and water-quality conflicts arise. The registration process has begun, and you must register by March 16, 2004 for existing with drawals or uses of water. With drawals or uses developed after Feb. 16, 2004, must be registered within 30 days of development. After you register, water use data will be compiled and studied by statewide and regional water resources committees. These committees consist of representa tives of business and industry, ag riculture and local government and environmental interests. This group will be responsible for identifying existing and potential water-use conflicts and water quality issues that may occur, and address these issues before they become problems. Producers will receive a pre registration packet in the mail that will explain the registration process, and include suggestions for estimating water usage. If you have any questions please con- tact the Act 220 Hot- line at (888) 457-6653.

At issue are 29 acres of prime farmland located at Warren State Hospital which are being farmed. Last year the Warren County Commissioners approved an agreement whereby the state owned land would be sold to a commercial developer along with two other land parcels. The transaction requires passage of House Bill 66, which would transfer ownership of the land to Warren County without an agri cultural use restriction. The mea sure was scheduled to be consid ered by the House State Government Committee on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Passage of House Bill 66 would establish a perilous precedent and weaken Pennsylvania’s long standing public policy that farm land owned by the common wealth be restricted for agricultural use to the fullest ex tent possible if sold or trans ferred. At least one farm family who is actively using much of the land would be gravely affected by the action. So in this instance, not only is the future of state-owned farmland at risk, but the future of the farm family as well.
