## Summary

**This bill would bring hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act.** It would also require operators to disclose the chemicals they plan to use and the chemicals actually used, and it gives treating clinicians emergency access to proprietary formulas while keeping trade secrets from public release. - Operators and oil and gas companies would have to file a pre-operation list of intended chemicals with identification, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers, safety data sheets when available, and anticipated volumes. They must file a post-operation list within 30 days showing chemicals used and volumes. - State regulators and the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator would regulate hydraulic fracturing as an underground injection activity under the Safe Drinking Water Act and must make disclosures publicly available online. The bill explicitly excludes underground injection of natural gas for storage from that coverage. - Residents and health workers would gain public online access to disclosed chemical information. In a medical emergency operators must disclose proprietary chemical formulas or identities to the State, the Administrator, or the treating physician or nurse on request, though proprietary formulas are not required to be publicly posted.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Fracking under drinking water rules: benefit, medium. This would add fracking fluids and proppants to the legal meaning of underground injection. It would apply to oil, gas, and geothermal wells. Underground injection of natural gas for storage would stay excluded. This change would put fracking injections under the Safe Drinking Water Act’s undergrou…
- Public fracking chemical reports with limits: mixed, medium. Operators would have to list the chemicals they plan to use before fracking starts.
