O&G Existing Pneumatic Controllers control strategy 

The Regional Air Quality Council conducted a stakeholder process during 2023 and 2024 to develop its O&G Existing Pneumatic Controllers emission reduction strategy with RAQC Board endorsement. The workgroup reviewing the control language met to review data, draft regulatory language, and supporting information as posted below.  After RAQC Board endorsement, the necessary documents were submitted to the Air Pollution Control Division for consideration and modified and adopted by the Air Quality Control Commission during a rulemaking hearing to update Regulation 7 in February 2025. An overview of the regulation and its requirements is available in a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment press release. The RAQC emission controls proposed for O&G Existing Pneumatic Controllers are to further reduce ozone for nonattainment area planning efforts to reach compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards during the 2024-26 time frame, as well as to reduce greenhouse gases and toxic air contaminants.
