Earlier this week, the ICPRB Commissioners unanimously approved a Resolution of Appreciation for retiring ICPRB Alternate Commissioner Susan Weaver of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

As the Environmental Program Manager for the Interstate Water Resources Management Division of DEP, Commissioner Weaver was the bridge between ICPRB and the other river basin commissions who work together to protect and preserve the rivers of  Pennsylvania.

During her tenure with ICPRB, Weaver served on the Executive Committee, as Vice Chair, and as Chair of the Commission.

“It was a pleasure working with Susan during her time as an Alternate Commissioner of ICPRB representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The highlight of her tenure as Chair was the in-person meeting of the Commission and field trip in Gettysburg, PA. It was enjoyed by Staff and Commissioners alike. We wish her the best in her retirement,” stated ICPRB Executive Director Michael Nardolilli.
