SPEAKER:  Neil Popowitz, Attorney/MBA, Freilich & Popowitz LLP    http://www.freilichpopowitz.com

Increasing oil and gas drilling activity, resulting from the new technology of hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” ranging from the Monterey Shale Field in California, Wattenberg Field in Colorado, Bakken Field in North Dakota and Montana, Marcellus Field underlying portions of Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, to the Barnett and Eagle Ford Fields of Texas, has stirred the imagination of the American people, allowing them to believe in the possibility of achieving energy self-sufficiency.  

Unfortunately, the recent boom in oil and gas drilling has overwhelmed many communities. This program will focus on the need for local government regulation of oil and gas fracking, drilling, and production to fill the vacuum left by less than comprehensive federal and state regulation.
