So I did a bit of Googling, and apparently there was going to be tons of fracking in Wayne county, but the Delaware River Basin Commission, the agency that oversees the Delaware River watershed, banned it while it studied the impact on the basin. And it doesn't seem to be working very hard at completing that study. So all the oil companies pulled out and broke their leases with 1,300 or so landowners in Wayne.

Sucks for the economy there, but is great news for the environment. I'm happy because to me, this is what makes Wayne county valuable:
