Bill Summary
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study with respect to stormwater runoff from oil and gas operations, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, also known as the FRESH-ER Act of 2013, aims to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, a law designed to regulate the discharge of pollutants into the nation's waters. Specifically, it seeks to prevent the requirement of permits for stormwater runoff from oil and gas operations, while also directing the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on the potential contamination caused by such runoff. This study would analyze measurable contamination, groundwater resources, and the susceptibility of aquifers to pollution from oil and gas-related stormwater runoff in affected areas, with a report to Congress due within one year of enactment.
