Updated Mar 18, 2021;
Fracking is permanently banned in the Delaware River region.
At a special meeting Thursday morning, the Delaware River Basin Commission approved new regulations prohibiting the use of the controversial drilling technique in its jurisdiction.
The agency also passed a resolution to develop new rules regarding the importation of fracking wastewater into the Delaware River watershed from other regions, and the exportation of the region’s water for fracking elsewhere. The draft versions of those regulations are to be drawn up and published by the end of September.
The DRBC is a regional agency tasked with protecting the water quality of the Delaware River and its tributaries, which provide water for more than 13 million people. The DRBC is made up of the governors of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers representing the federal government.
