New York's Attorney General has told the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies that he will sue if they fail to conduct a full review of proposed hydraulic fracturing regulations in the Delaware River Basin. "'Both the law and common sense dictate that the federal government must fully assess the impact of its actions before opening the door to gas fracking in New York,' said Attorney General Schneiderman. 'New Yorkers are correctly concerned about fracking's potential dangers to their environment, health and communities, and I will use the full authority of my office, including aggressive legal action, to ensure the federal government is forced to address those concerns.'"
