A bill to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to clarify the definition of the term "underground injection".

This bill proposes to change the Safe Drinking Water Act by specifically excluding hydraulic fracturing (fracking) from the federal definition of "underground injection." By doing so, the bill would remove the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate the underground injection of fluids and materials used during oil and gas fracking operations. For citizens, this means that oversight and regulation of these specific drilling activities would remain primarily under the jurisdiction of individual states rather than federal environmental officials.
