Fracking Regulations Released

The state has released its draft regulations governing fracking and well stimulation. There will be a 60-day comment period. Sierra Club California will submit comments, working with our national staff lawyer and our allies. But I want to encourage individuals to also submit comments. Michael Thornton, our organizer on fracking, will provide some guidance in a few weeks. Comments are due January 14. Here's the link to the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources page dedicated to the regulations: http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dog/Pages/Index.aspx.
There will also be public comment hearings. Michael will be in touch in the future about organizing folks to be there.
You can also find the press statement on the regulations on our website: http://www.sierraclubcalifornia.org. It's linked in the news box on the lower left corner of the home page.....
