FRANKFORT, Ky. – The third public meeting to allow interested parties to submit comments concerning oil and gas development in the Commonwealth will be held Thursday, July 30, in Hazard.
The meeting will be held in the Jolly Center of the JCC Building at Hazard Community and Technical College. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting will be held from 6 – 8 p.m.
This session is not designed as a debate, but rather as a listening session that will allow for brief spoken comments as well as the submittal of written comments.
The remarks made at the meeting will be captured on video and used in a report to be given to the oil and gas workgroup, made up of environmental interests, industry representatives and regulators. The workgroup began meeting in 2014 to update and modernize Kentucky’s statutes and regulations regarding all areas of oil and gas exploration, including fracking. The report will also be made available to members of the Kentucky General Assembly and the Governor’s Office for possible further action.
Anyone who cannot attend the meetings in person, but wishes to submit written comments may do so by July 31. Those written comments can be emailed to [email protected]
