DEP Air Quality Advisory Committee Meets Dec. 14 On Draft Final GPs Controlling Methane From Natural Gas Operations

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.
