* AAPG opposes federally mandated regulation of hydraulic fracturing treatments, preferring regional regulatory expertise at the state level.
* AAPG opposes federally mandated regulation of hydraulic fracturing treatments, preferring regional regulatory expertise at the state level.
* Permit procedures for fracturing within fresh-water aquifer zones (mostly undertaken in support of methane production from [[coal]] beds) should be designed on a basin-by-basin and state-by-state basis.
* Permit procedures for fracturing within fresh-water aquifer zones (mostly undertaken in support of methane production from [[coal]] beds) should be designed on a basin-by-basin and state-by-state basis.
* Permitting agencies should bear in mind in each instance the wide variety of possible designs of fracture treatments, and the geologic relationships of reservoir beds and aquifers unique to each area.
