EPA Region VIII Using Enforcement To Drive GHG Limits At Natural Gas Sites

摘要

EPA Region VIII is using enforcement settlements to require natural gas drilling sites to install new control technologies to cut emissions of the greenhouse gas (GHG) methane, spurring environmentalists to call on EPA to mandate the controls in its pending review of federal permitting requirements for the sector.rn"What's most interesting in the latest settlement is that EPA clearly sees the intersection between enforcement and policy efforts" by using the decrees to drive GHG limits, one environmentalist says.
