<p>There is currently only one operational shale gas exploration site in the UK. The
Environment Agency (EA) has set legally binding conditions to require monitoring and
control of methane emissions at the hydraulic fracturing site in Lancashire. Cuadrilla
are required to carry out regular emissions monitoring, including continuous monitoring
of methane to air before and during shale gas operations. The results are submitted
regularly to the EA. The levels of methane in the ambient air are also monitored independently
off site by the EA and the British Geological Survey.</p>
