Act to Keep Fracking Out of the Delaware River Basin

posted in: Environment, Uncategorized | 0

This is your chance to keep fracking out of the Delaware — forever. Act now at https://www.addup.org/campaigns/no-fracking-activities-in-the-delaware-river-basin.

The Delaware River Basin covers 13,000 sq. miles of land in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York and provides drinking water to 15 million residents basin-wide.

For nearly eight years, there has been a de facto moratorium on drilling in the Delaware River Basin pending study of potential impacts to water resources.

Without a permanent fracking ban, residents in the Delaware River Basin could be faced with well pads, compressor stations, drilling rigs, and countless miles of pipeline construction.

Now, the Delaware River Basin Commission is proposing regulations prohibiting fracking but potentially allowing for other fracking-related activities, such as water withdrawals and wastewater injection.

Tell the Delaware River Basin  all fracking activities must be kept out of the Basin – for the sake of clean water and the people who depend on it.

Once trees are clear cut, wells are drilled, and water is contaminated, there is no going back. There’s still time, so act now.
