Just this past week, EPA announced its proposal for permit guidance for fracking operations utilizing some form of diesel in injection fluids, and the Bureau of Land Management proposed regulations for operations occurring on public lands and Indian territory. Meanwhile, states such as Tennessee and Ohio have announced tighter new rules. These initiatives have received widespread publicity and are far too complex to detail here. We do have some thoughts and observations worth sharing, starting today with the EPA's new guidelines. http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/epa-issues-new-guidance-on-fracking-with-diesel-fuels/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/epa-issues-new-guidance-on-fracking-with-diesel-fuels/ Regulatory Tue, 15 May 2012 09:01:43 -0500 Shaun Gehan Today the President issued an Executive Order (insert) establishing an inter-agency working group to "facilitate coordinated Administration policy efforts to support safe and responsible unconventional domestic natural gas development." This is a welcomed respite from a series of otherwise misguided federal efforts to over-regulate hydrologic fracturing. By coordinating under the direction of the White House Domestic Policy Council the efforts of 13 federal agencies seeking to study, review or regulate unconventional gas development, and fracking in particular, the White House appears to be backing up the President's promise in his State of the Union speech to support domestic energy production and particularly development of unconventional natural gas resources. http://www.frackinginsider.com/legislative/white-house-executive-order-supporting-development-of-unconventional-natural-resources/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/legislative/white-house-executive-order-supporting-development-of-unconventional-natural-resources/ EconomicLegislative Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:12:03 -0500 John Wittenborn http://www.frackinginsider.com/litigation/with-stunning-alacrity-the-united/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/litigation/with-stunning-alacrity-the-united/ LitigationRegulatory Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:04:51 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/the-ohio-department-of-natural/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/the-ohio-department-of-natural/ Regulatory Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:03:52 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/lxbn-tv-interviews-eric-waeckerlin-on-the-staying-power-of-new-york-municipal-fracking-bans/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/lxbn-tv-interviews-eric-waeckerlin-on-the-staying-power-of-new-york-municipal-fracking-bans/ Regulatory Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:02:48 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin http://www.frackinginsider.com/litigation/last-week-two-lower-courts/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/litigation/last-week-two-lower-courts/ Litigation Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:37:24 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin When one thinks of a Superfund site, the image is of a large landfill, a former mining pit, or an industrial site like Love Canal; places where massive contamination has released into the air, ground, or water over many, many... http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/when-one-thinks-of-a/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/when-one-thinks-of-a/ LitigationRegulatory Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:30:33 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/the-controversy-over-hydraulic-fracturing/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/regulatory/the-controversy-over-hydraulic-fracturing/ EconomicLegislativeRegulatory Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:12:19 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin http://www.frackinginsider.com/legislative/unconventional-oil-and-natural-gas-major-players-in-job-councils-new-report/ http://www.frackinginsider.com/legislative/unconventional-oil-and-natural-gas-major-players-in-job-councils-new-report/ Legislative Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:03:56 -0500 Eric Waeckerlin Michele Hallowell contributed to this post.Recent earthquakes near Youngstown, Ohio are alleged to have been caused by the increased underground injection of wastewater produced in the hydraulic fracturing boom in the Marcellus and Utica region.
