The Colorado Air Quality Control Commission has approved a compromise proposal, negotiated by environmental groups, local governments, and industry groups, for a first-in-the-nation rule to require some pneumatic control devices at oil-and-gas facilities to be retrofit to lower methane emissions. A coalition of conservation groups Sierra Club, Earthworks, and Center for Biological Diversity, represented by Earthjustice partnered with other environmental groups, local governments, and industry to tackle the problem of emissions from pneumatic controllers.
Some conservation groups and oil and gas industry representatives have reached agreement on a joint proposal for what they say would be a first-in-the-nation rule under which companies would have to retrofit pneumatic control devices at oil and gas sites to cut methane emissions.
The groups are proposing the requirement to the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission, which is scheduled to consider new rules targeting the devices at a meeting Feb 18-19.The proposal was announced in a news release this week from the Sierra Club, Earthworks and Center for Biological Diversity, which are legally represented by Earthjustice in the rulemaking process.
