Abstract:

In June, NC Governor Pat McCrory signed legislation that lifted the state's moratorium on fracking. Soon Crimson Holdings Corporation, located in Pittsburgh, began offering leases to buy mineral rights from Durham landowners, especially ones like Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association, which owns 340 acres and four public nature preserves in Durham. Crimson's agent has not registered with state officials; therefore, he could be breaking the law.
