The Environmental Protection Agency has approved six local air quality rules from California into the federal State Implementation Plan. These rules come from three regional agencies: the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Why it matters: This action updates the federal record to reflect stricter or revised local controls on oil and gas operations in California. It ensures that state regulations are enforceable under federal law, which can affect compliance requirements for facilities operating in these specific regions.
Who it affects
- Oil and natural gas production companies in California’s San Joaquin Valley, Ventura County, and South Coast regions
