DRBC Issues Draft Regs Banning Recycled Wastewater from Fracking

Once again the virulent anti-fossil fuel nuts that compose the federal Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) are targeting the shale industry. Earlier this year the lefties that run the DRBC voted to permanently ban fracking (and therefore all oil and gas drilling) anywhere in the DRBC's jurisdiction (see DRBC Jumps Off Cliff – Votes to Permanently Ban Fracking). The organization has been sued for their ban by a couple of different parties, one of which (the Wayne Land and Mineral Group) is due to be decided by the end of this year. At any rate, not content with banning fracking, the DRBC has just floated new draft regulations to ban frack wastewater from entering the DRBC zone, even if that wastewater has been fully treated and recycled.
