Relates to prohibiting the use of wastewater from high-volume hydraulic fracturing for road and land spreading
This bill prohibits natural gas drilling operations using high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) from using their wastewater for road dust control, de-icing, or land spreading. It directly affects oil and gas companies conducting HVHF, defined as operations using over 300,000 gallons of water per well. The key provision explicitly bans wastewater - including flowback fluid and production brine - from these specific uses under environmental law. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
