BARRYVILLE, NY — There will be a demonstration to demand a complete Delaware River Basin ban not only of fracking but also of related products and activities, on Sunday, August 26 at 2 p.m. at the Barryville-Shohola Bridge.

Although the Delaware River Basin Commission recently released proposed regulations that would prohibit drilling fracked wells, they would still permit such activities as import of wastewater from fracking operations and transfers of water out of the basin for the purpose of fracking.

Concerned residents and representatives will unfurl a banner that expresses the united stand of Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers in their campaign to stop fracking and its activities from detrimentally affecting the Delaware River watershed in any way. It will read, “Defend the Delaware; Ban Fracking and Frack Waste”

Participants will gather at the parking lot for the river access ramp on the north side of the bridge,  located at the intersection of Route 97 and Brook Road.
