Fracking Study Denied In Colorado Legislature

Legislature Shoots Down State Involvement In Fracking Study

DENVER -- The state will not get involved with a study of chemicals used in natural-gas drilling, legislators decided Monday.

Rep. Roger Wilson, D-Glenwood Springs, wanted state agencies to review an upcoming federal study to see if hydraulic fracturing is affecting drinking water. He also wanted a report to the Legislature about the number of complaints to the state about fracking.
