Clean Water Action asks state to close proposed fracking loophole
Clean Water Action, a national organization that seeks to prevent
pollution of the nation's water resources, is asking the Colorado Oil
and Conservation Commission to close a "trade secret loophole" in a
proposed new regulation on well fracking.
Fracking is the hydraulic fracturing of rock layers, usually deep underground, to facilitate the extraction of oil and gas deposits. The process involves injecting sand, water and chemicals into the layers to loosen the deposits and bring them to the surface.
