The Major Issues

Regulation – Enough too keep pace?

Frac fluids – What’s in this stuff and why won’t you tell everyone?

Water use – quantities, water quality, consumptive use, recycling.

Aquifer contamination – disturbance of nearby water wells, gas migration, chemical flowback, leakage.

Surface impacts – road wear and tear, trucks through neighborhoods, noise.

Air emissions – GHG, HAPs (BTEX), Conventional Pollutants.

NPC Recommendation

NPC Prudent Development Report (September 15, 2011) Recommendation:

Support Prudent Development

• Establish Regional Councils of Excellence to share effective environmental, health, and safety practices.

• Adopt policies for more effective regulation of natural gas and oil production and operations

• Commit to and carry out community engagement

• Measure and reduce methane emissions

• By supporting prudent development, provide access to resources

SEAB Recommendation

SEAB Report (August 11, 2011):

Organization for best operating practices:

A more systemic approach by the shale gas industry based on best practices—recognized as improvements to techniques and methods over time based on measurement and field experience—is an important way to achieve better operational and environmental outcomes, the report finds.

The report envisions the creation of a national organization, with external stakeholders, dedicated to continuous improvement of best practice through the development and diffusion of standards and the assessment of member compliance. The organization would likely work through regional subgroups.
