LEGAL ACTIONS BEGIN WITHIN WATERSHED BASIN
Damascus Citizens has filed multiple legal notices. Counsel,
Jeff Zimmerman challenged the failure of the DRBC to review
so-called “exploratory wells” within the “Special Protection
Waters” of the Upper Delaware River Basin watershed.
Additionally, a filing has been made with the Environmental
Hearing Board of the PA-DEP appealing the issuance of a
“Drill and Operate” permit for an “exploratory well” within
the watershed basin.
The drilling disaster unfolding in the Gulf is an “exploratory
well.” The massive explosion was caused by a single methane
bubble. The Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf was given an
exclusion – just like the exclusion the DRBC is allowing
for the “exploratory wells” now being constructed within
the watershed region.
