body
Financial Impact:
This grant agreement provides $15,000 in funding for implementation and enforcement of the CARB Oil and Gas Regulation. No match funding is required.
Background Information:
On 3/23/17, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities Regulation (Oil and gas Regulation) that limits Greenhouse Gas emissions from crude oil and natural gas production facilities. The regulation is applicable to onshore and offshore crude oil or natural gas production facilities, crude oil storage, natural gas underground storage, natural gas processing plants, and natural gas boosting and compressor stations.
CARB proposed that districts implement all or portions of the new regulation through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The MOA was approved by the Board on 2/27/18. Should the Board confirm the Grant Agreement, the District will receive $15,000 to enforce the oil and gas regulation.
