You're sorta correct and I misspoke. There are STATE regulations on fracking but there are NO federal regulations on fracking. A lot of people in eastern Pennsylvania are getting rich from fracked natural gas while their neighbors, just across the state line in western New York are really pissed because New York doesn't allow the process.
I do believe that New York has put a plan/law in effect or being considered. Google 'New York fracking policy.'
In the early days of fracking, there was some waste; companies dumped the semi-polluted water anywhere they pleased. Now, however, all the water used is reclaimed. There is NO waste connected with fracking.
NO, Bub, you cannot say there is NO waste connected with fracking. Speaking from experience . . . though recycling used frack water is a growing business, there is still PLENTY of waste water aka, 'blowback' and there are serious efforts [in Karnes County, Texas and, I assume other Eagle Ford Shale play counties] to establish multiple waste disposal injection wells, almost assuredly in close proximity to homes and crops.
