This is a state’s rights issue. States should be exempted from the rule, especially those that have adopted hydraulic fracturing rules that include chemical disclosure, well construction, and well bore pressure testing.
The EPA study of potential hydraulic fracturing effects on ground water is not finished and there are currently no known environmental contamination incidents.
The required consultation with the Three Affiliated
Tribes has not occurred.
