A targeted review of the Ohio program regulating the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells has been completed by a multi-stakeholder group, which has concluded that the program is, over all, well-managed and also made recommendations for improvements in the program.
The review was conducted by a three-person team appointed by STRONGER, Inc., a non-profit organization that conducts voluntary state reviews of oil and natural gas environmental regulations. The review team, appointed in July 2010, consisted of three members and five observers representing environmental groups, state regulators, the oil and gas industry, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Fifteen additional people attended the review.
