The EPA is hosting four public information meetings on the proposed study of the relationship between hydraulic fracturing and its potential impacts on drinking water. The meetings will provide public information about the proposed study scope and design.
The public meetings will be held on:
- July 8th from 6 p.m to 10 p.m. CDT at the Hilton Fort Worth, Texas
- July 13th from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. MDT at the Marriot Tech Center's Rocky Mountain Events Center in Denver, Colorado
- July 22nd from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT at the Hilton Garden Inn in Canonsburg, PA
- August 12th at the Anderson Performing Arts Center at Binghamton University for 3 sessions - 8 a.m. to 12 p/m., 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT
Natural gas plays a vital role in our nation's clean energy future and hydraulic fracturing is one way of accessing this important resource. However, serious concerns have been raised about hydraulic fracturing's potential impact on human health, drinking water, and the environment. To address these concerns, EPA announced in March that it will study the potential adverse impact that hydraulic fracturing may have on drinking water.
