The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has published draft natural gas development regulations (see here). From the DRBC's Fact Sheet: "[T]his Article requires that water used for natural gas development projects must come from water sources that have been approved by the Commission for use for natural gas development. ***. A streamlined approval process is provided that encourages the use of existing Commission-approved water sources to minimize the need to construct and operate new water sources."
From a quick look, it appears as if the DRBC is looking to limit development through, among other things, significant bond requirements and permit fees.
Comments are due: March 16, 2011.
[Update: Public hearings have been scheduled for middle/late February (moved up).]
