Union of Concerned Scientists’ Hydraulic Fracturing Forum – Reports and Videos

Hinson Gravelle & Adair LLP attorney Eric Adair participated in a recent forum sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).

• the current state of the science and knowledge gaps;
• the current policy and regulatory landscape; and
• public access to information and civic engagement.

Materials from the forum, including reports and videos, have been posted on UCS’s website and are linked and embedded below.
