§ 2-5-114. Implementation and enforcement of federal emission standards--Oil and gas well and equipment emissions
A. The Department shall have the authority to establish a program for the implementation and enforcement of the federal emission standards and other requirements under Section 112 of the Federal Clean Air Act1 for hazardous air pollutants and for the prevention and mitigation of accidental releases of regulated substances under Section 112(r) of the Federal Clean Air Act.2
b. shall include the federal early reduction program under Section 112(i) (5) of the Federal Clean Air Act.3
2. The Board may promulgate, pursuant to recommendation by the Council, rules which establish emission limitations for hazardous air pollutants which are more stringent than the applicable federal standards, upon a determination by the Council that more stringent standards are necessary to protect the public health or the environment.
B. The Department shall also have the authority to establish a separate and distinct program only for the control of the emission of those toxic air contaminants not otherwise regulated by a final emission standard under Section 112(d) of the Federal Clean Air Act.4
D. Emissions from any oil or gas exploration or production well with its associated equipment, and emissions from any pipeline compressor or pump station shall not be aggregated with emissions from other similar units, whether or not such units are in a contiguous area or under common control, to determine whether such units or stations are major sources, and in the case of any oil or gas exploration or production well with its associated equipment, such emissions shall not be aggregated for any purpose under this section.
E. The Department shall not list oil and gas production wells with their associated equipment as an area source category, except that the Department may establish an area source category for oil and gas production wells located in any metropolitan statistical area or consolidated metropolitan statistical area with a population in excess of one million (1,000,000) if the Department determines that emissions of hazardous air pollutants from such wells present more than a negligible risk of adverse effects to public health.
