| dc.description.abstract | Several factors contribute to how fracking pollution affects water supplies, including the regulatory exemptions in federal environmental laws, the federal government’s complacency in monitoring and regulating the environmental effects of fracking, and the disregard for the role tribes play as co-sovereigns with states and the federal government. Regulatory exemptions located in federal laws governing water resources allow toxic pollutants to flow onto tribal lands and through drinking water supplies. Short of Congress eliminating these exemptions altogether, any solution for tribes to prevent toxic produced water from polluting their waters requires proper recognition of tribal sovereignty. | en_US |
