        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  environmental  conservation law, in relation to

     4    No wastewater treatment facility in the state shall accept any  waste-
     5  water  from  hydraulic  fracturing operations unless such facility meets
     6  the requirements established in section 17-0709 of this article.
     7    § 2. The environmental conservation law is amended  by  adding  a  new
     8  section 17-0709 to read as follows:
