12. Minor correction: agency only controls fracking on some state lands

Minor correction, the PA. DCNR only controls fracking on state parks and state forests. The Game Commission controls it on their lands, and PA. DEP controls it on private lands. The US Forest Service has had difficulty getting legal authority to control it on National Forest Service lands, because private entities often hold underground mineral rights. The Delaware River Basin Commission has effectively been banning fracking within the Delaware River watershed, because the partners cannot agree on water use rules.
