New Jersey lawmakers are considering a ban on treating or storing waste products created by hydraulic fracturing operations in the natural gas exploration industry.
New Jersey environmental groups are pushing to get state lawmakers to override Gov. Chris Christie's veto of a bill that prohibits hydraulic fracturing waste from being treated in New Jersey.
Environmental group Food and Water Watch is debuting a new spokesperson to call attention to the dangers of waste from hydraulic fracturing and put pressures on local legislators and Governor Christie to pass a ban on the practice.
