13 Who Regulates Oil and Gas Activities in Texas? (RRC, TCEQ, or???) The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) has primary regulatory jurisdiction over the oil and gas (O&G) industry. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the environmental agency for the state. There is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the RRC and TCEQ detailing jurisdictions of O&G activities. Common Environmental Requirements for Regulated O&G Operations - Publication RG Page 13
14 Who Regulates Oil and Gas Activities in Texas? Water Issues (RRC, TCEQ, or???) Process wastewater discharge and storm water run-off from O&G sites - EPA Process wastewater discharge from non O&G sites TCEQ Drinking water Private wells suspected contamination by O&G should be reported to the RRC Public water supply concerns should be reported to the TCEQ Dam safety - TCEQ Reclaimed water from municipal or industrial sources used for hydraulic fracturing, after which the water must be disposed of by deep well injection TCEQ and RRC Page 14
15 Surface Water Rights Before initiating any diversion, impoundment, taking, or use of surface water, or construction for those activities, a permit must be acquired from the TCEQ. There are areas of the state where it may be difficult to find water available on a permanent, term, or temporary basis due to existing permits and specific conditions in the stream. Page 15
16 Surface Casing The Railroad Commission of Texas may require a groundwater-protection recommendation letter from the TCEQ, if someone is drilling: an oil and/or gas well, Class II disposal well, cathodic protection well, or seismic shot hole. They will be provided with the estimated depth to the base of usable-quality groundwater, so the appropriate level of surface casing can be installed. Page 16
17 Who Regulates Spills at Oil and Gas Sites? (RRC, TCEQ, or???) Classification of the spill determines which agency has jurisdiction Spills associated with exploration, development, and production of O&G RRC Hazardous substances - TCEQ Refined petroleum products TCEQ Abandoned containers of unknown substances that are not leaking TCEQ Texas Oil Spill Prevention and Response Program Texas General Land Office Page 17
18 Who Regulates Waste at Oil and Gas Sites? (RRC, TCEQ, or???) In general wastes from O&G related activities are regulated by RRC. The exceptions are: Waste associated with transportation of crude oil and natural gas by railcar, truck, barge, or oil tanker Refined petroleum products by pipeline Wastes generated at oil field service facilities that provide equipment, materials, or services to the O&G industry Wastes that are processed, treated, or disposed of at a solid waste management facility authorized by the TCEQ Page 18
19 What about the dust, noise, and traffic associated with O&G sites? Dust from public roads should be addressed by the local government. Noise complaints should be reported to the local law enforcement agency. Traffic complaints should also reported to the local law enforcement agency. Page 19
20 Federal Air Regulations 40 CFR Part 60 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart KKK Equipment leaks of VOC from onshore natural gas processing plants Subpart LLL Standards of performance for Onshore Natural Gas Processing: SO2 emissions Subpart JJJJ Standards of performance for stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines Page 20
21 Federal Air Regulations (cont.) 40 CFR Part 63 National Emission Standards for hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart HH Natural gas production facilities Subpart HHH Natural gas transmission and storage facilities Subpart ZZZZ Reciprocating internal combustion engines Page 21
22 Federal Air Regulations (cont.) Federal regulations NSPS (Part 60) and MACT (Part 63) revisions are to be proposed by July 28 th, with final rules by Feb 2012 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard 85 ppb, 75 ppb, 60 to 70 ppb what will it be??? Page 22
23 Air Regulations - Authorizations Owners and operators of an O&G site must obtain an authorization for air emissions. REALLY, SINCE WHEN? Since September 1, 1972, when the Texas Clean Air Act became effective. Page 23
24 TCEQ Air Regulations Type of Authorizations Available Permit by Rule (PBR) if: Less than 250 tpy of CO or NO x, Less than 25 tpy of VOC, SO 2, PM 10, and Less than 25 tpy of any other air contaminant, except carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, methane, ethane, hydrogen, or oxygen Common PBRs: Saltwater Disposal Oil & Gas Handling and Production Facilities Temporary Oil & Gas Facilities Flares Page Stationary Engines & Turbines
25 TCEQ Air Regulations O&G Handling and Production Facilities The new PBR, Section for Oil & Gas Handling and Production Facilities became effective April Please see the provided handout for a summary of the new requirements. Page 25
26 TCEQ Air Regulations Authorizations continued Can t qualify for a PBR, a company may be eligible for a Standard Permit. Can t qualify for a Standard Permit, then the company must get a new-source-review (NSR) permit. Also Major Sources are subject to Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and must meet operating permit requirements under that program. TCEQ has delegation of this federal program. Page 26
27 TCEQ Air Regulations A company had an upset at an O&G site that lead to unauthorized air emissions. Are they required to record the information concerning the event? Yes Are they required to report the event to the TCEQ? Depends on what and how much was emitted 30 TAC and have all of the answers Page 27
28 TCEQ Air Regulations Someone has complained to the TCEQ about an odor or dust issue at a well pad that is being completed, what TCEQ rules could apply? 30 TAC Nuisance and 30 TAC Visible emissions Page 28
29 TCEQ Air Regulations Chapter Emissions Inventory Requirements. (a) Applicability. The owner or operator of an account shall submit emissions inventories : (1) an account that meets the definition of a major facility/stationary source, or any account in an ozone nonattainment area emitting a minimum of ten tons per year (tpy) volatile organic compounds (VOC), 25 tpy nitrogen oxides (NOx), or 100 tpy or more of any other contaminant subject to national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS); (4) any minor industrial source, area source, non-road mobile source, or mobile source of emissions subject to special inventories under subsection (b)(3) of this section. Page 29
30 TCEQ Air Regulations (cont.) Chapter 101 State delegation of 40 CFR Part 60 (NSPS rules) and Part 61 (NESHAPS rules) Chapter 112 Control of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide Chapter 113 State adopted 40 CFR Part 63 (MACT rules) Chapter 114 Control of air pollution from motor vehicles - Gasoline and diesel Page 30
31 TCEQ Air Regulations (cont.) Chapter 115 Storage of volatile organic compounds Additional requirements have been proposed. Potential adoption at the November 16 th, TCEQ Commissioner s Agenda A condensate tank or tank battery with more than 1,500 barrels per year liquid throughput requires a vapor recovery unit or control device. A crude oil or condensate tank or tank battery requires vapor recovery unit or control device if potential emissions are over 25 tons per year (tpy). At 25 tpy, vapor recovery devices are expected to be feasible and recovered product should help offset initial costs. The proposed rule would apply these more stringent regulations in the DFW area with 95% control of VOC flash emissions that would reduce VOC emissions by tpd in Page 31
32 TCEQ Air Regulations (cont.) Chapter 117 Control of air pollution from nitrogen compounds In other words, the control of NOx from combustion sources. Page 32

40 What We Are Finding Nearly all of the issues documented arose from human or mechanical failures. These items were quickly remedied and could have been avoided through increased diligence on the part of the operator. Corrective actions amounted to little more than replacing worn gaskets, closing open hatches, and repairing stuck valves.
41 Moving Forward The TCEQ must continue to: Ensure transparency of our efforts through abundant and timely communication with all interested parties; Evaluate the existing ambient air quality monitoring network and expand, as needed, through the use of established agency protocol for determining the placement of long-term, stationary monitors;
42 Moving Forward Apply the use of state-of-the-art handheld air monitoring equipment to assess short-term, near-source air quality; Maintain a frequent, routine investigative presence while also providing timely complaint response; Base our rules and permits on sound science and common sense; and Apply our enforcement tools in a fair and consistent manner.
