A national environmental group says the upper Delaware River tops their list of 25 most “endangered” rivers in the country. American Rivers released a report yesterday that says natural gas drilling is the biggest threat.
17 million people in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania drink water that comes from the upper Delaware. But the report says chemicals used in natural gas drilling create toxic wastewater that could pollute that drinking supply.
Albert Appleton is a former director at the New York City water and sewer system. So how does Appleton think the natural gas boom upstate will affect downstream residents of the Delaware Valley?
Your listeners should be very concerned about whether, five years from now, they will be able to drink the water, says Appleton, and whether or not they will be able to drink the water without having to pay an enormous amount of money to upgrade the water treatment facilities of Philadelphia or whatever Delaware River valley city they’re living in.
Across the state, energy companies are acquiring thousands of acres of land in the natural-gas-rich Marcellus shale formation.
Royal Dutch Shell just spent $4.7 billion dollars purchasing land in gas-rich regions of New York and Pennsylvania.
The drilling industry says the process is safe, resulting in no large-scale environmental impacts.
“I think we, as probably most in industry, feel that, while those concerns need to be addressed, says Bryan Lastrapes of Shell, we don’t think they are a problem.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
