*"Discussion draft" hydraulic fracturing regulations released; first 
public workshop scheduled February 19*

The Department of Conservation/Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal 
Resources on December 18, 2012 released a "discussion draft" of 
regulations for the oil and natural gas production technique known as 
hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"). What does "discussion draft" mean? It 
means that this version does not begin the formal rulemaking process. 
Instead, it is a starting point for discussion by key stakeholders -- 
industry, the environmental community, other regulators, and interested 
members of the public -- in preparation for the more formal process. 
These "discussion draft" regulations include provisions for 
pre-fracturing well testing; advance notification; monitoring during and 
after fracturing operations; disclosure of materials used in fracturing 
fluid; trade secrets; and storage and handling of hydraulic fracturing 
fluids.

The Department will conduct the first of several stakeholder workshops 
to receive input on the "discussion draft" regulations on February 19 in 
Los Angeles. The meeting will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the downtown 
Doubletree Hotel, 120 South Los Angeles Street.Workshops will also be 
held in Bakersfield and Sacramento, with dates, times and locations to 
be announced soon. The actual "discussion draft regulations" and other 
material can be found on the Department's home page,
