Offshore Air Quality Compliance

The Pacific Region coordinates with local Air Pollution Control Districts on all environmental reviews and assists in field monitoring of air quality requirements for OCS oil and gas projects to ensure compliance with applicable requirements of the projects. BOEMRE is additionally responsible for coordinating with the Air Districts to ensure that equipment modifications resulting from new air quality requirements do not hinder safe and technically feasible operations.
