TO READOPT INTERIM WELL STIMULATION REGULATIONS<br>To: <br><br><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi,<div>This does not say anything about a county or municipality’s ability to supersede SB 4? as far as I can see. It talks about the fracking regs only, not our ability to ban the process. <br>

However, state law states that emergency rulemaking such as these interim regulations only have a 6-month lifespan before they must be extended. This readoption of the Interim Regulations serves to extend those rules.<span> </span><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"> </span>The Notice of Proposed Emergency Rulemaking Action and the text of the SB 4 Interim Well Stimulation Treatment Regulations are attached.
