Public Hearings: Three public 

hearings will be held. The hearings are 

tentatively scheduled for February 17, 

2010 near the Commission office and 

February 22, 2011 in Wayne County, 

Pennsylvania and Sullivan County, New 

York. The exact times, locations, 

directions, and other details about these 

meetings will be posted on the 

Commission’s Web page as they become 

available: http://www.state.nj.us/drbc/ 

notice_naturalgas-draftregs.htm. 

Purpose, Authority and Scope: The 

Commission is proposing a new Article 

7 of DRBC’s Water Quality Regulations 

to protect the water resources of the 

Basin during the construction and 

operation of natural gas development 

projects. This Article applies to all 

natural gas development projects 

involving siting, construction or use of 

production, exploratory or other wells 

in the Basin regardless of the target 

geologic formation, and to water 

withdrawals, well pad and related 

activities and wastewater disposal 

activities comprising part of, associated 

with or serving such projects. The 

provisions of this Article rely on the 

state oil and gas regulatory programs of 

Pennsylvania and New York where 

separate administration by the 

Commission would result in 

unnecessary duplication. The Article 

supersedes the Executive Director’s 

Determinations issued on May 19, 2009, 

June 14, 2010 and July 23, 2010. 

This Article implements the statutory 

authority that the Basin states of 

Delaware, New Jersey, New York and 

Pennsylvania and the federal 

government granted to the Commission 

in the Delaware River Basin Compact 

and supplements the Commission’s 

Comprehensive Plan with respect to 

natural gas development projects within 

the Basin. Commission regulations are 

one mechanism by which the Basin 

states and Federal government work 

together to manage water resources in 

an integrated manner for the benefit of 

all citizens of the Basin. 

Strategic Regulatory Framework: This 

Article’s regulatory framework is 

divided into sections addressing water 

sources for natural gas development, 

well pad siting, and wastewater 

disposal. The Commission primarily 

relies on the oil and gas programs and 

the experienced agency staff of the state 

in which the natural gas well is located 

to manage well construction and 

operation. 

Water Sources for Uses Related to 

Natural Gas Well Development: Existing 

Commission regulations establish a 

program for regulating water 

withdrawals. These Commission 

requirements serve multiple water 

resources objectives including, among 

others, preserving river flows to protect 

in-stream living resources and 

downstream withdrawers, and ensuring 

adequate assimilative capacity for 

approved discharges. The Commission 

has in other regulations established 

thresholds for project review based on 

the thirty-day average volume of water 

withdrawals. Water withdrawals for 

natural gas development including high 

volume hydraulic fracturing may have 

substantial water quality impacts due to 

their high intermittent daily withdrawal 

volume. Consequently, this 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. The requirements for 

approval are designed to protect 

minimum stream flows, provide a
