Illinois Department of Natural Resources added three public hearings on proposed fracking rules in Effingham December 5, Decatur December 17, and Carbondale December 19. They're in addition to hearings already announced in Chicago on November 26, and Rend Lake College December 3.
The hearings are an opportunity for anyone to make comments on the fracking rules, or simply show opposition to the massive assault planned on Illinois' environment. More details are at IDNR's website.
