American Rivers, a conservation group, put the Upper Delaware on the top of its annual "Endangered Rivers" report today because of pending gas drilling in the watershed. Ramsay Adams, the director of the Catskill Mountainkeeper, responded to the news at a press conference:
Today, right now, is the moment when we get to decide whether we will be 'reasonable' and let the overwhelming momentum carry us and as a result lose the Delaware or say 'No, we won't let this happen' and begin the long hard fight that we know can be won.
