New York State Set To Ban Fracking

An official ban on fracking is very likely following New York state’s long-awaited environmental impact statement (EIS) on fracking.
Bna.com reports:
The voluminous EIS released by the Department of Environmental Conservation May 13 “lays out the scientific, technical and policy rationale for the ultimate determination not to permit high-volume hydraulic fracturing to proceed in the state,” Kate Sinding, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail message.
“Yes, we are absolutely confident the Cuomo administration is banning fracking through the SEQRA [State Environmental Quality Review Act] process,” she said. “We have no doubt that the [final supplemental generic environmental impact statement] sets the stage for as ‘permanent’ a ban as could be legally effectuated short of a constitutional amendment.”
