     § 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.
