Sections 25-7-105(1); 25-7-102; 25-7-301; 25-7-106; 25-7-109(1)(a), (2), and (3); 25-7-109(2)(c); 24-4-103 and 25-7-110, 110.5 and 110.8 C.R.S., as applicable and amended. |
| Description of Subjects/Issues |
To consider revisions to Regulation Number 7 that address Reasonably Available Control Technology requirements for each category of sources covered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Oil and Gas Control Techniques Guidelines in Colorado’s Ozone State Implementation Plan. These proposed revisions would incorporate existing State-Only requirements into Colorado’s Ozone SIP, propose new requirements for inclusion in Colorado’s Ozone SIP, and revise and/or clarify existing SIP and State-Only provisions.
The proposed revisions are offered to address the requirements of the federal Clean Air act for areas classified as moderate non-attainment. The proposed revisions would result in hydrocarbon emissions reductions in the Denver Metro Area/North Front Range Non-attainment area necessary to make progress toward attaining the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The Commission may also consider imposing similar requirements on facilities on a state-wide basis, not just in the Denver Metro Area/North Front Range. The Commission may also make clarifying revisions and typographical, grammatical, and formatting corrections throughout Regulation Number 7. |
