Pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law and the State Administrative Procedures Act, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) has filed revised regulations relating to high volume hydraulic fracturing to amend 6 NYCRR Parts 52, 190, 550-556 and Subpart 750-1 and add Part 560 and Subpart 750-3, available at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/77353.html.
