<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif"">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.</span><span

</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times

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
