The Delaware River Basin Commission has postponed its vote on fracking in its watershed for the third time, it announced this morning.

The Monday vote to pass natural gas regulations allowing drilling in the protected region will be put off for further review by the five commission members - New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and federal authorities represented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
