§ 3104. Administrative agreements with other agencies

In consultation with the Statewide committee, the department shall, to the extent practicable, enter into administrative agreements with appropriate Compact Basin Commissions and Federal, State, interstate, municipal and other agencies for the following purposes:

(1) To avoid unnecessary duplication of staff functions and facilitate
coordinated review of projects and actions within the jurisdiction of
such agencies.

(2) To provide a coordinated system for registration of significant
water uses and the coordinated collection and maintenance of data
regarding water resources.

(3) To provide for coordinated inspection, monitoring and enforcement
of applicable statutes and regulations, provided that nothing in this
section shall be deemed to confer enforcement authority on the
Statewide committee.

(4) To accept delegations of authority from or obtain the services and
assistance of a Compact Basin Commission or Federal or interstate
agency concerning planning for the maintenance and enhancement of water
resources. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize a
delegation to the Statewide committee or the department of any power to
regulate, control or require permits for the withdrawal or use of
water.

(5) To ensure coordinated and effective responses to water resources
emergencies in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Agency and the Compact Basin Commissions.
