WELL STIMULATION REGULATIONS

Hi,
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.

The California Department of Conservation (DOC) today is giving public
notice regarding the re-adoption of interim regulations to govern oil and
gas well stimulation treatment until DOC’s proposed permanent regulations
are completed and become effective. The interim well stimulation
regulations were initially established on January 1, 2014.  The proposed
permanent regulations were publicly noticed on
November 15, and DOC anticipates that the permanent regulations will be
effective on January 1, 2015.

These interim regulations were established under an emergency rulemaking
process to ensure  that they were in place when Senate Bill 4 became
effective on January 1, 2014.  These interim rules ensure that there is a
regulatory structure consistent with Senate Bill 4 in place for well
stimulation activities between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015.
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.  The
Notice of Proposed Emergency Rulemaking Action and the text of the SB 4
Interim Well Stimulation Treatment Regulations are attached.  The emergency
rulemaking process includes a limited opportunity to submit comments on the
proposed regulations.  Information about the process for submitting
comments is included in the attached notice.

For more information about well stimulation treatment and DOC’s proposed
regulations please visitwww.conservation.ca.gov.
