Bill overview
The Fracking Disclosure and Safety Act aims to increase transparency and safety in hydraulic fracturing operations. It requires the disclosure of chemicals used in fracking, establishes stricter regulations for well construction and waste management on federal lands, and mandates the Bureau of Land Management to create specific regulations for federal fracking operations. The bill also updates environmental regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act to address potential contamination from fracking activities, including adding hydrogen sulfide to the list of hazardous air pollutants and requiring stormwater impact studies.
