Fracking:  What to do? Like almost all human activities, fracking is neither good nor bad and is strongly influenced by local conditions and culture. The following list contains the studies and Management Plans that resolve 95% of the effects and impacts of fracking. These studies and management plans are: 1.      Environmental impact assessment 2.      Health Impact Assessment 3.      Social impact assessment 4.      Geophysical risk assessment 5.      Environmental Risk Assessment or Study 6.      Infrastructure adaptation plan in the project area 7.      Communications plan to the population and local governments (including emergencies) 8.      Erosion control and soil protection plan 9.      Compliance plan with international ESG policies 10. Hydro-fracture water management plan and aquifer protecti...

  El Fracking o Fracturación Hidráulica: ¿Qué hacer? II El PDF de abajo contiene los Estudios y Planes de manejo que dan solución al 95% de las preguntas del público y autoridades sobre la fracturación hidráulica o fracking.. En el blog anterior: https://environmentalsmart.blogspot.com/2022/03/Fracking-que-hacer.html presenté los resultados de más de doscientos artículos y documentos siguiendo la evolución del tema durante cinco años. Gran parte de la información para construir los planes de manejo se obtiene de manera rutinaria para otros fines pero no se presenta en planes concretos para el público.  Hacer la tarea completa permitirá un mejor entendimiento entre las partes interesadas en hacer el proyecto y las afectadas por sus efectos. Este tipo de coordinación es la tarea central de los profesionales ambientales. Siéntase libre de usarlo y distribuirlo. Respuesta a la Pregunta de: ¿Qué Hacer con el Fracking? El fracking como casi todas las actividades humanas no ...

The Fracking Conundrum: What to do?   Restored oil well area in Alberta. There is no significant difference with the surrounding land use   Like almost all human activities, fracking is neither good nor bad and is strongly influenced by local conditions and culture.   Two years ago, I wrote about the analysis of hydraulic fracturing, finding two types of results. On the one hand, hydraulic fracturing accumulates many scientific, technological, administrative and financial advances. And on the other hand, fracking presents a very negative public image, especially in American and European countries, with a significant emotional charge. Contrary to what I expected, the most developed and educated citizens show considerable opposition. When studying the subject, I found that a large part of the impacts, except one, are understood and regulated in the vast majority of countries. That is the relatively new point of induced seismicity. Everything else is controlled in ...
