RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - The North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission will hold its second meeting on Friday, Sept. 28. The group will elect officers including chairman and vice chairman, following by presentation of a proposed work plan from the state Department of Environment and Natural Services.

The General Assembly ratified the “Clean Energy and Economic Security Act,” or Session Law 2012-143, in July. This law reconstitutes the state’s Mining Commission as the North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission and charges the commission with developing a modern regulatory program for the management of oil and gas exploration and development activities in North Carolina, including the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
