LAST CALL for letters to the DRBC Commissioners before the meeting!
Thousands have been submitted but we need more to influence this vote. To register your concerns send a letter NOW - BEFORE the Sept. 15 meeting - to the DRBC outlining why we need to STUDY FIRST, then develop regulations to prevent pollution and degradation to the Delaware River Watershed and the water supply of 15 million people. For a sample letter that will be emailed directly to DRBC go to:
