The Delaware River Basin, a 13,539-square-mile watershed that cuts through Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania is now off-limits to fracking. In late February, the five-member Delaware River Basin Commission the interstate government agency that oversees the basin voted 4–0 to permanently ban the extraction of methane gas in the region. The decision comes a decade after the commission authorized a de facto moratorium on well construction and follows other fracking bans across the East Coast, marking a historic win for anti-fracking activists. The state commissioners the governors of each state all voted in favor of the ban. The federal commissioner abstained.
