WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ranking members of the Senate Committees on Environment and Public Works and Energy and Natural Resources Senators James M. Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), today joined Senators John Hoeven (R-North Dakota) and Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) in sending a bipartisan letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to express concern about the approach the agency seems to be taking to regulate hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) when diesel fuel is used.
