The Federal and State EPAs are now putting forth regulations to make oil and gas companies more environmentally responsible. Ohio also has a bill on the table proposing a tax on the producers coming in to Ohio so that a portion of their profits will be (hopefully) used to maintain and improve the infrastructure needed to support this industry.
The Ohio EPA plan has support from the Sierra Club, but not some other fringe environmental groups. That is a good sign that it is somewhat fair. Now - let's hope all these jobs created in Ohio by this industry materialize ASAP!
