As a Water Planning Biologist, you will primarily conduct project and environmental reviews to evaluate and comment on the impact of water use programs on aquatic life and recreational activities.  This includes reviewing water allocation permits, public notices, and hydropower license applications, as well as conducting instream flow studies and biological surveys related to your reviews.  Work also involves collecting and analyzing biological and hydrological data, preparing technical reports, and providing written and oral comments based on your technical expertise.

Within this role, you will collaborate with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Delaware River Basin Commission, Susquehanna River Basin Commission, and various federal agencies surrounding water allocation permit applications, dockets, and public notices.  You will also serve as a PFBC liaison to these agencies on matters related to instream flow and water allocation.  Take advantage of this rewarding opportunity to help ensure the protection of aquatic ecosystems and recreational opportunities!
