The Planning and Law Division of the
American Planning Association is pleased to host the upcoming webcast Controlling
the Local Impacts of Hydrofracking on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 from 1:00

Hydrofracking will occur
in many states, but federal and state agencies will not regulate many of the
adverse local impacts of unconventional gas exploration. On the other hand,
local governments will, and without expert guidance may be inclined to prohibit
the practice. Some states will respond to local bans by stripping local governments
of their authority.
It is vital, therefore,
to develop best practices for controlling unregulated local impacts and to
deliver them effectively to local governments and leaders. This program will
outline the regulatory framework, identify local impacts (positive and
negative), and conclude with an exploration of strategies—including both
regulatory and non-regulatory actions—that local governments can use to address
those impacts.
Speakers include Jessica
Bacher, Executive Director of the Land Use Law Center at Pace Law School and
Joshua Galperin, a clinical lecturer and director in law at Yale Law School and
the Environmental Law and Policy Program Director at the Yale School of
Forestry and Environmental Studies.
