The regulation and oversight of the oil and gas extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, have become central environmental issues of our times. Concerns have been raised about fracking’s impact on our drinking water, our public health, our environment, and our economy.
In December, the Department of Conservation/Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) introduced draft fracking regulations. On Friday, April 19, they will hold a workshop in Santa Barbara for the public and other stakeholders to learn more and have their voices heard. These new regulations provide advanced notice, improved testing and monitoring, and better handling of fracking fluid. Several bills are moving through the State Legislature that would provide greater protections than these regulations, including my bill, Senate Bill 395, to regulate the waste water produced from fracking.
Our very own, Hannah-Beth Jackson, State Senator for the 19th Senate District, wants to hear from our community members. Please attend the workshop, and invite others to attend!
