Abstract:
The second story in the series on fracking in North Carolina (first story in May 11, 2011 issue). Private landowners are signing one-sided contracts with exploration companies searching for natural gas. Under these contracts, private citizens will earn less than citizens in other states where fracking is common. Additionally, the private landowners will be liable for the cost of cleanup in the case of environmental disasters, fines for zoning and land use violations, and other legal fees. These fees will likely cost them more than they will make from the royalties on their land.

Fracking cannot officially begin in the state for 18 months, but that has not stopped a Texas company from preliminary testing. Tar Heel Triassic Resources Inc. plans to run tests in Lee County to determine \"orientation, structure and depth\" of the state's Triassic basin. The company hopes to perform three-dimensional testing, a procedure which does not require permits through the state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Abstract:
NC state lawmakers have voted to override Governor Perdue’s veto of the state’s fracking bill. The vote needed to make the veto official came as Democratic Rep. Becky Carney mistakenly voted in favor of the veto. Carney attempted to make her mistake known, but was ignored by House Speaker Thom Tillis. The state will now allow fracking and Carney has gone on record making her mistake public and expressing her regret.

Abstract:
Members of North Carolina’s Mining and Energy Commission are crafting regulations for drilling. One of the first subjects they intend to address is the disclosure of fracking chemicals by fracking companies. The group will look to “best practices” from other states , but may not force the revealing of chemicals. Citizens claim they have a right to know as fracking often affects the quality of groundwater and can cause an increase in earthquakes.
