GHG Emission Standards for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities
California Regions AIR
Proposed rule of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District adopts regulations under Rules 2260 and 3156 to establish registration requirements and fees for equipment subject to state greenhouse gas emission (GHG) standards for crude oil and natural gas facilities. The rule requires owners and operators to register existing, newly installed, and replacement equipment specified in the state rule, including certain separator and tank systems, circulation tanks for well stimulation treatments, reciprocating and centrifugal natural gas compressors, natural gas powered pneumatic devices and pumps, natural gas wells, well casing vents, and natural gas underground storage facilities. The rule establishes application requirements, registration content, and registration fees. A workshop is scheduled for Oct. 20, 2017, in Bakersfield, via video teleconference in Fresno and Modesto, and via webcast. Comments are due Oct. 30, 2017.

AIR
Petroleum Refinery Emission Limits
California Regions AIR
Notice of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District announces that the district has suspended further action on a proposed rule to adopt regulations under Rule 12-16 regarding petroleum refining facilitywide emission limits. An initial proposal would have limited emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particulate matter (PM-2.5 and PM-10), nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide from petroleum refineries and associated facilities by setting a maximum annual emission rate based on emissions reported during a 2010-2014 baseline period, plus a 7 percent additional allowance. A subsequent revised proposal would have established a cap on GHG

emissions from petroleum refineries and associated facilities, and a rule to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants, including PM emissions, would have been proposed at a later date. The suspension is due to the adoption of Assembly Bill 398, which extends the state cap-and-trade program to 2030 and prohibits air districts from adopting carbon dioxide emissions reduction requirements for stationary sources that are also subject to the state cap-and-trade requirement.
