Senator Serrano Protects New Yorkers From Delaware River Fracking

Senator Serrano signed on to a letter, spearheaded by Senator Liz Krueger, asking the Delaware River Basin Commision (DRBC) to enact a complete and permanent ban on natural gas development and hydraulic fracturing and all related activities (including drilling, fracking, wastewater processing, and discharges from and water withdrawals for drilling and fracking operations) throughout the Basin. There is significant evidence that natural gas development, and its related operations, have substantial adverse effects on public health, property interests, agriculture, air, water, and land. As a State Senator representing the wellbeing of many who rely on the Delaware River watershed to supply their drinking water needs, the Senator has signed on to this letter to protect our water source from these harmful side effects.
