Fracking Legislation in California

-Information only – please do not reply to this email-

You are receiving this message from the California Department of Conservation because you have asked to be kept informed about the development of regulations for the use of hydraulic fracturing in California for oil and natural gas production. We are no longer accepting comments on the “discussion draft” of regulations that were released last year.

The Department has posted new information about the enactment of Senate Bill 4, addressing well stimulation treatments, including hydraulic fracturing, and the ongoing creation of official draft regulations to implement that legislation at http://www.conservation.ca.gov. As soon the official draft regulations are released, the Department, through this Listserv, will announce a portal for the submission of public comments that will be part of the formal rulemaking process.

I believe the list serve one would sign up for is:

DOGGR_REGULATIONS_INFORMATION@LISTSERVE.STATE.CA.GOV

I am on the list and will post as soon as I am notified of the release of official draft legislation. Comments made on that will go into the official record.
