10th Circuit Court Dismisses Appeal of Fracking Rule

Sep 22, 2017 · Basin Now · News

A recent 10th Circuit Court ruling affirms the Department of Interior’s announcement that the hydraulic fracturing rule will be rescinded in its entirety. The ruling provides an answer to the attempts of environmental groups to see the plan to rescind the rule nullified. “We’re pleased that after today, [we] are even closer to finally putting BLM’s ill-conceived fracking rule to bed,” shares Kathleen Sgamma, president of Western Energy Alliance. “As with the royalty valuation rule that was recently completely rescinded, there are some technicalities to work through in the short term, but just as the court recognizes that it is not worthwhile to expend judicial resources on a rule that is being overturned, it is clear that implementing the rule in the short term is likewise a waste of industry and government resources.”
