On Tuesday, the Delaware River Basin Commission published revised draft natural gas regulations on its website. These regulations are designed to supplement existing state regulations for natural gas development projects within the Delaware River Basin. The DRBC is scheduled to vote on the proposed regulations at a public meeting on Nov. 21.
THE DRBC
Some readers may be unfamiliar with the DRBC, an agency that usually draws little attention outside the water resources community. The DRBC is a federal-interstate compact agency created in 1961 by concurrent legislation of the federal government and the basin states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The governors of the basin states and a representative of the president each have one vote on the commission. The DRBC’s organic statute, the Delaware River Basin Compact, gives the DRBC broad authority to manage water resources, including both water quantity and water quality, throughout the basin.
