| | Position: | Support
| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | This bill accomplished the NCACC's legislative goal to establish a study commission to examine hydraulic fracturing method of drilling for natural gas. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is instructed to hold two public hearings on hydraulic fracturing and to study the possible societal, economic and community impacts of allowing hydraulic fracturing. The bill also appropriates $100,000 to conduct the study and establishes May 1, 2012, as the deadline for DENR to report its findings to the Legislature. The bill passed the House on May 31 and was amended by the Senate to combine the study with a study of "Onshore shale gas" included in S709, if that bill passes. |

| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | This bill allows one or more water systems to jointly plan for a regional water system and also directs the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to work with local governments in identifying water supply sources to accommodate future population growth. This would accomplish the Assocaition's legislative goal to "streamline water supply reservoir permitting." |

| | Position: | Support
| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | This bill would accomplish an NCACC legislative goal to "create study commission on horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and uranium mining." The bill authorizes the Legislative Research Commission to "study the impacts on North Carolina" if the State of Virginia ends the state's current moratorium on uranium mining and allow a company to "conduct uranium mining in an area in Virginia that is located in the center of the Roanoke River Basin. The Legislative Research Commission shall specifically consider the impacts on that portion of North Carolina that would be most directly affected, since almost the entire portion of the Roanoke River Basin that is downstream and downwind of the proposed mining site in Virginia is located in North Carolina, spanning the Virginia/North Carolina border and extending to the Albemarle Sound." |
