Oil & Gas Journal: Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley plans to propose regulations that would allow hydraulic fracturing in western Maryland provided that natural gas companies adhere to certain restrictions to limit the risks of water contamination and air pollution.
O’Malley said the proposals will stem from more than 3 years of study by state agencies into whether Maryland should allow drilling in the Marcellus shale. On Nov. 25, the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Department of Natural Resources released a draft report recommending that drilling be allowed in Garrett and Allegany counties.
