New York State, concerned with water quality in the Delaware Water Basin, recently filed a claim requesting the Federal Government to oversee gas drilling in the watershed area.  Noting that New York City and surrounding areas receive significant amounts of drinking water from the Delaware River, New York officials want a closer eye kept on gas drill rigging activities near the river.  Presently New York has a moratorium on gas drilling statewide while formulating regulations for the industry.  The twelve lawyers at DLP continue to handle Pennsylvania gas drilling accident cases especially in Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, Sullivan and Wyoming Counties and other counties in Northeast and Central Pennsylvania.
