Our industry works very closely with, and welcomes input from, a host of stakeholders, including conservation groups and organizations. As underscored in our Guiding Principles, safety and environmentally responsible efforts to responsibly develop shale is our foremost priority.
The MSC has published a Recommended Practice on Site Planning, Development and Restoration focused on ensuring that groundwater and soil, and the environment generally, are protected. Conservations groups assisted in these efforts. These partnerships are very important and we value the input from a broad range of stakeholders.
We also coordinate with state and federal regulators, and encourage MSC operators to utilize all of our recommended practices at various steps in the development process.
