Lawmakers call on Gov. Jerry Brown to halt fracking in California

SACRAMENTO -- Calling a recent bill to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," in California insufficient, a group of lawmakers are urging Gov. Jerry Brown to halt the oil and gas extraction method.
The issue of fracking, in which sand, water and chemicals are injected into the ground to release oil and gas, was one of the most contentious battles in the Legislature last year. Brown signed a bill last Sept. by Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills) that regulates the practice.
But some environmentalists say the bill is too weak and that more studies should be done on the effects of fracking on groundwater contamination, seismic activity and other concerns.
Nine Democratic legislators, led by Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael) sent Brown a letter Tuesday urging him to take executive action to stop all fracking until environmental and health questions are addressed.
