Legal Alert – SCAQMD First in California to Regulate Hydraulic Fracturing
By Richard J. McNeil
The possible benefits (and possible burdens) of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in California have received significant media attention lately.

Those reserves, it is believed, now can be easily accessed through the practice of fracking.
