The National Agricultural Law Center (University of Arkansas) (“Center”) is sponsoring a December 15th webinar titled Federal Regulation of Shale Oil and Gas Development – Current Issues.
In describing the webinar topic, the Center notes:
… in recent years, the widespread expansion of shale oil and gas operations has led to a variety of regulatory activities at the federal, state, and local levels. Within the past year, several federal agencies – including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Department of Transportation (DOT) – engaged in regulatory activities, some of which have been the subject of legal challenges. This webinar will provide an overview of these recent regulatory developments and resulting litigation with particular focus on EPA Clean Water Rule, BLM Hydraulic Fracturing Rule, EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Study, DOT Crude Oil by Rail Rule, and EPA’s proposed regulatory actions to reduce methane and volatile organic compounds resulting from shale development.
The webinar presenter will be Ross Pifer, J.D., LL.M.
Mr. Pifer is the Director of the Center for Agricultural and Shale Law at the Penn State Law School. He is a Clinical Law Professor teaching agricultural law. His research interest includes shale gas development and the interface between agricultural and residential development.
The webinar will be held from 12:00 – 1:00 (Eastern) and is offered free of charge. However, the webinar is limited to the first 100 registrants. There is no pre-registration for the webinar.
