Title: ●Managing Oil and Gas Emissions From Minor Sources in Indian Country | |
Abstract:
EPA issued a Tribal minor new source review (NSR) rule in July 2011, that offered general permits as a method for meeting the requirement that minor air pollution sources in Indian Country receive a permit to construct to protect tribal air resources. After consulting EPA regions and tribes, the Agency developed a list of source categories for which we would issue general permits, which includes oil and gas operations and production. Since then, we received a number of registrations from existing sources in the industry and other information that indicates that the magnitude of potential permitting activity in this industry may warrant a more streamlined regulatory approach to assure that new emissions do not cause or contribute to violation of a NAAQS. To that end, we are exploring another method for addressing oil and gas impacts on tribal air resources: the Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). The purpose of the ANPR is to receive initial feedback from industry, tribal and other stakeholders on a FIP. A FIP may provide a streamlined, yet more comprehensive approach for mitigating new emissions growth, while reducing the resource burden on the permitting authority and regulated community associated with submitting and reviewing general permit applications. |
