Without calling this either good or bad, I'm wondering what type of regulations and requirements this type of drilling is being subjected to. Nationally there has been great concern about fracking causing not only environmental damage from the drilling itself, but also from the chemically polluted wastewater that is returned to the surface.

It seems that our DEC, DNR and others do a good job of regulating and staying on top of these issues, but still worth hearing what the plans are for it.
