Ozark Society Sues to Stop Hydraulic Fracturing Wells in
Ozark-St. Francis National Forest
The Ozark Society has sued the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of
Land Management. The suit alleges that the agencies have not adequately
studied the impact of current and future horizontal hydraulic fracturing
wells in the Ozark National Forest. An Environmental Impact Statement
(“EIS”) was done in 2005 to cover 15 vertical wells. Yet over 40
horizontal wells have now been drilled, and the Bureau of Land
Management claims the area could support up to 1,700.
The suit asks for
a preliminary injunction against further exploration until the suit can
be tried.
