DEP’s Air Quality Technical Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet December 14 to discuss the draft final GP-5 and new GP-5A general permits that control methane emissions for new unconventional natural gas operations and related documents.
The updated GP-5 is applicable to midstream and natural gas transmission facilities, and GP-5A is for unconventional well sites and pigging stations. Both general permits incorporate the most current state and federal requirements.
Also on the agenda for discussion are--
-- Clean Air Program Funding Shortfalls: DEP is projecting a deficit in Air Quality Program funding of over $29.4 million from FY 2016-17 to FY 2019-20 for Title V federal permitting ($7.3 million shortfall) and state permitting activities ($22.1 million shortfall). DEP has proposed some fee concepts to deal with these significant shortfalls.
-- Clean Power Plan Repeal Update
-- Status of 2015 Ozone Pollution Nonattainment Designations
The meeting will be held in Room 105 Rachel Carson Building starting at 9:15.
