STEERS ePermitting System What can I register with it? All PBRs Oil and Gas Standard Permits Am I required to use it?
7
STEERS – How fast is it? All 75 PBRs that don’t require registration will have a same-day response.
8
STEERS – Oil and Gas Projects New! Same-day response (if specific parameters) Company will receive authorization letter Staff will periodically review these submittals manually
9
Rule Selection What if I select the wrong rule? Can I edit my application after I have received my authorization letter? Example: Registered for §106.352(l) instead of §106.352(a)-(k)

Hotter Topics
14
Methane and VOC Standards Proposal to amend NSPS OOOO and OOOOa by setting standards for methane and VOC Proposal published in Federal Register on September 18, 2015
15
Sources Affected Compressors (centrifugal and reciprocating) Pneumatic controllers and pumps Hydraulically fractured wells (well completions) Well site and compressor station fugitives Natural gas processing plant equipment leaks
16
Pneumatic Pumps New, modified, and reconstructed natural gas- driven and diaphragm pumps Requires emission control by 95% in all source categories except natural gas processing plants For natural gas processing plants, emissions of methane and VOC must be zero
17
Hydraulically Fractured Wells Non-exploratory & non-delineation wells Reduced emissions completions, aka green completion Combustion device Exploratory & delineation wells Combustion device
18
Fugitive Emissions Monitoring Defines fugitive emission components Requires use of optical gas imaging Sets leak monitoring schedule: Includes incentives for minimizing leaks Includes requirements for repairing leaks and resurveying
19
Electronic Reporting Requires electronic submittal of reports (CEDRI) May require reporting quantitative environmental results on corporate websites
20
Control Techniques Guidelines
21
Draft published in Federal Register on September 18, 2015 Recommendations for evaluation of VOC RACT for existing sources in ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above
22
Sources Affected by Control Changes Storage vessels Equipment leaks from natural gas processing plants Compressors and pneumatics Fugitive emissions
23
Source Determination EPA Proposal Option 1 - within ¼ mile Option 2 - within ¼ mile or greater than ¼ mile with functional interrelatedness Texas Statute Within ¼ mile and operationally dependent
