EPA and gas drillers square off in court about diesel in frac fluid By Lissa Harris - 11/9/10 - 11:34 am Do frackers have to get permits to inject diesel fuel into gas wells? The EPA says yes -- a position that's come under industry attack, via a lawsuit that's currently working its way through federal court. Gas drillers using hydraulic fracturing techniques to recover shale gas are largely exempt from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). But the EPA has asserted some regulatory authority over the use of diesel fuel in frac fluid -- a process that, the agency claims, requires a permit under the SDWA. From www.epa.gov: watershedpost.com
