The U.S. Bureau of Land Management will resume issuing oil and gas leases
next year for federal lands in California after a new study found limited
environmental impacts from fracking and other enhanced drilling techniques,
the agency said Thursday.

The move will end a halt that has stood since a federal judge ruled in 2013
that the federal agency failed to follow environmental law in allowing an
oil extraction method known as fracking on public land in Monterey County.

The study released Thursday was conducted for the BLM by the state-created
California Council on Science and Technology. It concluded the current
level of fracking and other so-called well-stimulation techniques by
drillers to get more oil out of rock formations did not seem to be
poisoning water supplies or increasing earthquake risks in the state.
