Rejected petition Government to maintain current levels for seismic activity on fracking sites.

Fracking firms have called for regulations on seismic tremors caused by Fracking to be revised and say "The current regulations are making the UK's shale gas industry "unworkable" and levels of seismic activity allowed before there must be a halt during fracking, severely constrained activities."

More details

A company was forced to pause work at its Blackpool site on several occasions last year after fracking tests triggered earth tremors exceeding 0.5 on the Richter scale.
