To the DRBC Commissioners: Thank you for providing me and all concerned citizens for the opportunity to comment. This comment pertains to the extreme dangers inherent in fracking waste. As a resident within the Delaware River Watershed, a concerned...↓ citizen, and Chair of the Water Issues Committee for the Atlantic Chapter of the Sierra Club, I call for a COMPLETE BAN on ALL activities related to unconventional HVHF drilling for natural gas, a/k/a fracking, within the Delaware River Watershed and Basin. I object to any considerations to allow wastewater and waste by products produced by fracking (ie: flowback, slick water and drill cuttings, whether in liquid state or in a "solid mix" with construction debris and wood particles) to be stored, treated, or discharged within the Delaware River Watershed. I have multiple articles to share coming out just this year, 2018, about the increase in radioactivity in streambeds and landfills as the result of even conventional drilling. There are no means to address radioactivity and it cannot be cleaned up. The fracking waste problem is tremendous, adding radioactive materials to the mix is nightmarish. WE NEED TO KEEP IT IN THE GROUND in the Delaware River Basin. Below and attached are items in regard to the problem of radioactive waste in landfills, including those including or within dangerous proximity to wetlands, specifically a landfill in the Southern Tier which has been found to contain an inordinate amount of radium derived radionuclides in the areas of the landfill where frack waste has been dumped. Please feel free to utilize the following article which describes in detail the Wetlands specific to the Delaware in Pennsylvania: https://www.aswm.org/wetlandsonestop/wetlands_of_pa_delaware_estuary_coastal_zone_and_vicinity_0315.pdf (Tiner, R.W., E. Olson, D. Cross, and J. Herman. 2015. Wetlands of Pennsylvania's Delaware Estuary Coastal Zone and Vicinity: Characterization and Landscape-level Functional Assessment. Prepared for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Coastal Zone Management Program, Harrisburg, PA. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Northeast Region, Hadley, MA. 44 pp. plus appendices. Please also consider the following comment in regard to cleaning water by Public Herald (Pittsburgh) Editor-in-Chief and filmmaker Joshua B. Pribanic: "I can't find [an] operation ... which has proven its success to produce 100% clean water. All operations accepting oil and gas waste that utilize a distillation process and produce discharge do so with the knowledge that contaminants, including radioactive compounds, can get discharged..." Please read the following uploaded files: Comments and literature in regard to high radioactivity in the fracking waste Hakes landfill in Painted Post, NY. Included is the inadequate wetlands mitigation plan with citizen and organization comments revealing the problems with that plan. The authors of the Hakes comments have all granted permission to share, which I offer as illustrative of the dangers of fracking waste sites in regard to waterways and wetlands. The Wetland Mitigation plan I understand to be a public document.

To the DRBC Commissioners: Thank you for providing me and all concerned citizens the opportunity to comment. As a resident within the Delaware River Watershed, a concerned citizen, and Chair of the Water Issues Committee for the Atlantic Chapter of...↓ the Sierra Club, I call for a COMPLETE BAN on ALL activities related to unconventional HVHF drilling for natural gas, a/k/a fracking, within the Delaware River Watershed and Basin. I oppose any proposal to allow water from the Delaware River Watershed to be withdrawn for use in unconventional drilling. I support a full and permanent ban on fracking and its activities throughout the Delaware River Watershed. Despite the indisputable fact that the world is facing a future of water scarcity, the fuel energy industry will usurp as much water as possible for drilling purposes, such as they have in the town of Erwin, NY from an intentionally obscured water source, during a drought from a SRBC designated already stressed aquifer. Drilling needs have increased from 3 million to up to, now in Ohio, 82 million gallons of water PER unconventional event. To those industry executive, stockholders and politicians who seek to make North America the fossil fuel extraction nation of the world, and to expand the global market for natural gas for purely environmental profit purposes, the waters of the Delaware must be a BONANZA. Interested parties are seeking as much water as possible to continue their aims, (along with creating a market for water itself), and in the case of the Delaware, that means over the basic need for water of 17 million Americans, not to mention the other life forms in the basin. And they will try stunts as shown in Sierra Club, et al vs SWEPI LLC and the Village of Painted Post and Sierra Club vs NYDEC and Ravenswood Power plant in New York City. They will lie and force through every project despite holds by state environmental entity orders at the expense of endangered and threatened species such as the family of three American Bald Eagles in Wawayanda, NY to see the CPV Valley Energy power plant, born of industry corruption. They will keep calling natural gas clean energy. Besides being an extremely dirty and dangerous fuel to produce and convey, natural gas methane. has increased 30% in the world atmosphere the last ten years and is 105x more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and the production and conveyance are both dirty and dangerous. As this asphyxiant in the atmosphere increases, we can anticipate the desecration of certain species of trees, (I recently heard sugar maples), so essential for releasing oxygen and converting CO2. We can also expect with the death of countless other methane sensitive species of flora and fauna, including songbirds (their demise will act for the world as the canaries have for coal miners, only on a massive scale) I pray the better angels of your natures hold sway, over the lower angel of greed so rampant in the world today, as you make your decision. The Delaware River Basin needs to be kept pristine as possible if only so our descendents can see what the Earth was once like.

I am currently a New York resident; I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and have, throughout my life, visited the Delaware River Basin as a tourist and as a guest of friends who have residences that lie within the basin. It is a beautiful area off...↓ering many wonderful recreational opportunities: it is also a source of safe water for millions. Shale fracking would impose a very significant risk of damage to the Delaware River Basin; the costs of that damage would far exceed any potential benefits. I commend you for proposing a permanent ban on fracking within the watershed and sincerely hope you will adopt the ban. The harms associated with shale fracking have been widely documented: I am attaching a recently released compendium of fracking's risks and harms compiled by Concerned Health Professionals of New York and Physicians for Social Responsibility. If you wish to protect the watershed from the harmful effects of shale fracking, you must not only ban fracking within the watershed, you must also ban the exportation of water for fracking and the importation of waste generated by fracking. The financial benefits of these activities are dwarfed by their potential for harm. In fact, the cost of properly policing these activities would likely exceed any financial benefit. The DRBC Water Code's "Policy of Protection and Preservation" states "The waters of the Delaware River Basin are limited in quantity and the Basin is frequently subject to drought warnings and drought declarations due to limited water supply storage and streamflow during dry periods. Therefore, it shall be the policy of the Commission to discourage the exportation of water from the Delaware River Basin." Frankly, I do not understand the reasoning behind this statement. If fracking water withdrawals should be discouraged, then why not go the logical next step and ban them? No one can predict the exact timing and scope of a drought; considering the very large amount of water needed for fracking, withdrawals immediately preceding a drought could greatly exacerbate the effects of the drought. Moreover, if substantial economic gains are to be realized, then a very substantial amount of truck traffic would have to be allowed within the basin to collect water. This poses the risk of increased air pollution as well as a VERY MUCH ENHANCED RISK OF IMPORTING HARMFUL INVASIVE SPECIES TO THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN. This is a problem which, in the context of fracking, is often overlooked. Yet it is a very real issue. The NYSDEC recognized this possibility when considering whether to allow fracking within NY state and in fact proposed rules in its SGEIS to attempt to prevent the importation of invasive species. Unfortunately, the cost of effectively implementing such rules would likely be quite large, as any given truck in a long stream of trucks might carry invasive species on its tires or in its water tank. Even if an expensive and fully comprehensive attempt were undertaken to prevent the invasive species from entering the region, complete success would certainly not be guaranteed. Eradication of invasive species, once they have been established, is expensive and is seldom 100% successful. Invasive species have already begun to spring up around well pads in PA; trucks coming from PA are likely to be carrying seeds, spores, larvae, etc. from these species. Finding and eliminating these tiny invasive "hitchhikers" is an all-but-impossible task. I attempted repeatedly to upload articles about a 2017 Penn State study that found that invasive species were common around well pads and could be transported by truck traffic. All of those uploads failed, so I will refer you to one of the articles via url--it's at http://www.centredaily.com/news/article165569577.html. Importation of fracking wastewater is even more problematic. Adequate treatment of fracking waste is a difficult prospect; such waste contains not only the substances that are injected into the gas well during the drilling and fracking processes, but also naturally occurring radioactive substances pumped up from the depths of the earth. The precise nature of the contaminants within fracking waste fluid varies from region to region and well to well, and indeed, the precise constituents of fracking fluid are often unknown and COULD ALSO CHANGE AS TIME GOES ON AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE INTRODUCED. Effectively policing this situation, assuring that all wastewater coming into the area has been properly treated, would be an extremely expensive and potentially impossible situation requiring a veritable army of highly trained professionals. Once pollutants are introduced into the basin, removing them would become a very expensive and potentially impossible prospect. There are few if any treatment plants that can adequately treat this waste. Banning fracking with the basin and then importing inadequately treated fracking waste defies all reason and logic. I hope you will do the prudent and wise thing and ban not only fracking, but also the exportation of water for use in fracking and the importation of fracking waste. I thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Please ban fracking and all dumping of fracking waste. Water is a limited commodity in this world and life depends on it. We must protect it with everything we have.

I support a total ban on gas and oil development in the Delaware River watershed. This includes a ban on both the injection of wastewater and the withdrawal of water for fracking operations elsewhere. The Delaware is the most pristine river east of t...↓

It is unthinkable that any agency, federal, state or local government responsible for public health would approve legislation or rules that permit taking water from our supply for use in hydrofracking. That water will never be returned to the hydrol...↓

My community is located on the Upper Delaware River. Many of us make our livelihoods courtesy of its pristine waters. Many others have ties to cities that draw on the Delaware for drinking water. Millions of people in our region depend on the river's...↓

I support banning fracking but we do not want fracking waste to be dumped here either. The Commission must do their job to protect the drinking water for millions of people. Our drinking water will continue to be taken out of the Delaware River and f...↓
