New Fracking Chemical Information Website Now Available

The Ground Water Protection Council and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission have jointly developed a new website-- FracFocus-- to provide a hydraulic fracturing chemical registry.
The project was started in 2010 in Pittsburgh "to develop and implement a system to enhance access to state and other pertinent information concerning chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing."
            By design, the website is a non-governmental site designed to supplement, not replace, state regulatory agency websites. The chemical data presented on this site has been submitted on a voluntary basis by the participating oil and gas companies.
            The website organizes information on fracking by state or chemical and provides links to a frequently asked questions page.
            For more information, visit the FracFocus website.
