Results for “New Mexico compressor station”
- StateNew Mexico air permitsNew Mexico Environment Department (NMED). NMED's Air Quality Bureau regulates stationary sources statewide except Albuquerque/Bernalillo County. Depending on emissions, a source may need no permit, a Notice of Intent (20.2.73 NMAC), a minor source construction permit or general construction permit (20.2.72 NMAC), a PSD permit (20.2.74 NMAC), a nonattainment permit (20.2.79 NMAC), and/or a Title V operating permit (20.2.70 NMAC). Most applications use the Universal Application Form and the AQB ePermitting Portal.
- StateNew York air permitsNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). NYSDEC issues air permits and registrations under 6 NYCRR Part 201: Air Facility Registrations (Subpart 201-4) for smaller non-major facilities, State Facility Permits (Subpart 201-5) for larger non-major facilities using enforceable limits, and Title V Facility Permits (Subpart 201-6) for major and Acid Rain sources. Major projects need nonattainment NSR under Part 231 or federal PSD under 40 CFR 52.21. Major source thresholds vary by location: the New York City metropolitan severe ozone nonattainment area has the lowest NOx/VOC thresholds. Permit processing follows the Uniform Procedures Act (Part 621). EPA Region 2 is the permitting authority in the eight Tribal Nations.
- StateOhio air permitsOhio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). Ohio EPA DAPC issues air permits through its Central Office and district offices plus eight local air agencies that serve as Ohio EPA's representatives for their counties. Non-Title V facilities get a Permit-to-Install and Operate (PTIO); Title V facilities get a Permit-to-Install (PTI) for construction plus a Title V operating permit (OAC 3745-77). Lower tiers include permanent and discretionary exemptions (OAC 3745-31-03), the de minimis exemption (OAC 3745-15-05), permits-by-rule (OAC 3745-31-30), and general permits (OAC 3745-31-29), including oil and gas well-site and natural gas compressor station general permits. Best Available Technology (BAT) applies to new sources. Major sources go through attainment-area review (PSD, OAC 3745-31-10 to -20) or nonattainment review (OAC 3745-31-21 to -27).
- StatePennsylvania air permitsPennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Pennsylvania DEP requires a plan approval before constructing, modifying, or reactivating a source or installing an air cleaning device (25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B), and an operating permit (State-Only or Title V, Subchapter F and Title V provisions) to operate. Many sources are exempt from plan approval under 25 Pa. Code 127.14 and DEP's Air Quality Permit Exemptions list (275-2101-003), but plan approval exemptions do not automatically exempt a facility from operating permits. A Request for Determination (RFD) gets a case-by-case decision. General plan approvals/general operating permits (GP-1 to GP-24) cover common source types, including GP-5 and GP-5A for natural gas operations. Allegheny County and Philadelphia run their own programs. Annual operating permit maintenance fees apply (2026-2030: $10,000 Title V, $5,000 synthetic minor, $2,500 natural minor).
- StateCalifornia air permitsCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) with 35 local air districts. California's 35 local air districts are the primary agencies that review and issue stationary source air permits. CARB plays an oversight role and generally does not issue preconstruction or operating permits (Cal. Health & Safety Code §§ 39620, 41500). Districts issue an Authority to Construct (ATC) before building or modifying equipment and a Permit to Operate (PTO) once ATC requirements are met; they also run New Source Review and EPA-approved Title V programs. CARB directly regulates oil and gas methane emissions through a statewide regulation enforced with districts.
- StateColorado air permitsColorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Colorado uses a two-step system: sources report emissions on an Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN) above APEN thresholds, and need a construction permit above facility-wide permit thresholds (Regulation 3, Parts A and B). Lower thresholds apply for VOC and NOx in the Denver Metro/North Front Range ozone nonattainment area. General permits cover common oil and gas equipment, engines, and land development. Major sources need a Title V operating permit (Regulation 3, Part C) and PSD/NNSR review (Regulation 3, Part D). Since June 30, 2026, APENs and construction permit applications must be filed through the online submission tool, and applications require an Environmental Justice Summary.
- StateFlorida air permitsFlorida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Florida DEP requires an air construction permit before building or modifying non-exempt emissions units, and an air operation permit to operate. Many small sources qualify for categorical, conditional, or generic exemptions (Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C.) or for one of the air general permits (Rule 62-210.310). Minor construction permits are processed by DEP districts or approved local programs; PSD, nonattainment NSR, and power plant permits are processed by the Division. Operation permits are state-only (natural or synthetic minor), federally enforceable state operation permits (FESOP), or Title V (Chapter 62-213).
- StateMontana air permitsMontana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Montana DEQ issues Montana Air Quality Permits (MAQPs, preconstruction permits under ARM 17.8 Subchapter 7), Title V Operating Permits (ARM 17.8 Subchapter 12), and registrations for specific portable or well-site source types (oil and gas well facilities, nonmetallic mineral crushers/screeners, concrete batch plants, and asphalt plants). Per DEQ, MAQPs do not expire. PSD applies to major stationary sources under ARM 17.8 Subchapter 8.
- StateIllinois air permitsIllinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). Illinois EPA requires a construction permit before building an emission unit or air pollution control equipment unless an exemption applies, and an operating permit to operate. Operating permit options depend on size: Registration of Smaller Sources (ROSS) for very small sources, lifetime state operating permits, general permits for true minor sources, FESOPs for synthetic minors, and CAAPP (Illinois's Title V program) for major sources. PSD and nonattainment NSR apply to major projects.
- StateMichigan air permitsMichigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). Michigan requires a Permit to Install (PTI) before installing, relocating, modifying, or reconstructing equipment that emits air contaminants (R 336.1201), unless an exemption in Part 2 applies. PTIs are free and do not expire. General PTIs exist for a few categories. Major sources need a Renewable Operating Permit (ROP), Michigan's Title V program (R 336.1210-1218). Part 18 (PSD) mirrors 40 CFR 52.21 and Part 19 covers nonattainment NSR.
- StateOregon air permitsOregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Oregon DEQ issues Air Contaminant Discharge Permits (ACDPs) for minor sources and for new major sources/major modifications, plus Title V operating permits for major sources. Which ACDP applies depends on the source category in the Table of Activities and Sources (OAR 340-216-8010, Table 1): Part A sources qualify for a Basic ACDP, Part B for a General, Simple, or Standard ACDP, and Part C must get a Standard ACDP. Permits carry Plant Site Emission Limits (PSELs) compared against Significant Emission Rates (SERs). Many sources need a Notice of Construction even without a permit (OAR Division 210), and every permit needs a Land Use Compatibility Statement. Cleaner Air Oregon adds facility risk assessment for toxic air contaminants. LRAPA permits in Lane County; EPA Region 10 permits in Indian Country and on the Outer Continental Shelf.
- StateWyoming air permitsWyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Wyoming DEQ's Air Quality Division requires a construction permit before construction or modification of a source begins (WAQSR Chapter 6, Section 2(a)(i)). DEQ says Chapter 6 has no de minimis emission levels; instead, Section 2(k) lists specific activities that do not need approval. Oil and gas production sites that use Best Available Control Technology (BACT) may begin construction without prior authorization under W.S. 35-11-801(e), and DEQ's Oil and Gas Production Facilities Permitting Guidance defines that BACT. Major sources need PSD (Chapter 6, Section 4), nonattainment NSR (Chapter 6, Section 13; Upper Green River Basin ozone area), and a Title V operating permit (Chapter 6, Section 3). Applications are submitted through the IMPACT portal, and drafts are posted on OpenAir. EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateSouth Dakota air permitsSouth Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR). South Dakota DANR's Air Quality Program issues minor source operating permits (ARSD 74:36:04), Title V (Part 70) operating permits, general permits for portable and stationary sources (asphalt plants, rock crushers, concrete plants, grain elevators), and PSD pre-construction permits (ARSD 74:36:09, adopting 40 CFR 52.21). South Dakota is in attainment, so nonattainment NSR (ARSD 74:36:10) does not currently apply. The Rapid City area has PM10 Natural Events Action Plan requirements, including general permits for construction and continuous activities on state property. EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateConnecticut air permitsConnecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Connecticut DEEP issues equipment-specific New Source Review permits under RCSA § 22a-174-3a, with permit-by-rule alternatives for certain equipment (§§ 22a-174-3b, -3c, -3d) and premises-wide Title V operating permits under § 22a-174-33. Facilities can stay below Title V with emissions caps under §§ 22a-174-33a and -33b, which replaced the expired General Permit to Limit Potential to Emit. Southwest Connecticut was reclassified to severe nonattainment for the 2008 ozone standard, lowering major source thresholds for NOx and VOC there.
- StateUtah air permitsUtah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Utah DAQ requires an Approval Order (AO) before starting construction or operation of emitting equipment, obtained by filing a Notice of Intent under R307-401 (New Source Review section). Small sources may be exempt (R307-401-9), and permits by rule are available for listed emission units (R307-431) and source categories (R307-432). Oil and gas sources on state-jurisdiction lands register once under R307-505 and follow the R307-500 series oil and gas rules. Major sources need nonattainment/maintenance area review (R307-403) or PSD (R307-405) and a Title V operating permit (R307-415). EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateWest Virginia air permitsWest Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). WVDEP's Division of Air Quality issues construction, modification, relocation, and temporary permits under 45CSR13 for stationary sources above the rule's thresholds, plus Class I and Class II general permit registrations (filed through the Electronic Submission System), PSD permits (45CSR14), nonattainment NSR permits (45CSR19), and Title V operating permits (45CSR30). Fees are under 45CSR22. A Permit Determination request confirms whether a permit is needed. West Virginia has extensive oil and gas general permits: G70-E for well sites and G35-E for compressor and dehydration facilities. There are no local air agencies.
- StateVirginia air permitsVirginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Virginia DEQ issues air permits under 9VAC5-80 (Permits for Stationary Sources). New sources and projects above the exemption levels in 9VAC5-80-1105 need a minor NSR permit (Article 6), or a state major permit for Title V major facilities that are not PSD. Major sources need PSD (Article 8) in attainment areas or nonattainment NSR (Article 9; Northern Virginia ozone area). Case-by-case MACT is under Article 7. State Operating Permits (Article 5) are elective and usually create synthetic minor limits. Title V permits are under Article 1. General permits cover nonmetallic mineral processing, biomass pilot test facilities, voluntary demand response generators, and emergency generators. There are no local air permitting agencies.
- StateArkansas air permitsArkansas Department of Energy and Environment, Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Arkansas DEQ issues registrations, minor source permits, general permits, and Title V permits under APC&EC Rules 18, 19, and 26. Permits must be obtained before construction begins. Minor source permits do not expire; general and Title V permits have five-year terms.
- StateDistrict of Columbia air permitsDC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). Most stationary sources of air pollution in the District must obtain permits from DOEE's Air Quality Division. Minor sources (such as gas stations, dry cleaners, auto body shops, generator sites, and small printers) generally need a Chapter 2 pre-construction review permit and then a Chapter 2 operating permit. Major sources need pre-construction review, NSR permits under 20 DCMR § 204 for new major sources or emission-increasing modifications, and Title V operating permits under 20 DCMR Chapter 3. Source category permits offer a fast standardized path for emergency engines and temporary portable plants.
- StateLouisiana air permitsLouisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). In Louisiana any source that emits or could emit an air contaminant generally needs an air permit unless an exception applies. Very small facilities are excused by statute (Act 547) or can use the small source exemption (LAC 33:III.501.B.4); insignificant activities are listed in LAC 33:III.501.B.5. Other non-Part 70 facilities get state minor source permits under LAC 33:III.503, or coverage under minor source general permits such as the one for crude oil and natural gas production. Major sources need Part 70 (Title V) permits under LAC 33:III.507, plus PSD or nonattainment NSR for major projects.
- StateMississippi air permitsMississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Mississippi requires a Permit to Construct for new facilities unless a facility-wide exclusion under Rule 2.13 applies. Construction permits are PSD (major), PSD-avoidance (moderate sources taking limits), or minor. Operating permits are Title V (Chapter 6), Synthetic Minor Operating Permits, or State Operating Permits for listed significant minor source types; true minor sources need no operating permit. MDEQ charges no air permit application fees; only Title V facilities pay annual fees.
- StateHawaii air permitsHawaii State Department of Health (DOH). Hawaii DOH's Clean Air Branch requires an Air Pollution Control Permit before constructing, reconstructing, modifying, or operating a stationary air pollution source or control equipment, except as provided in HAR 11-60.1-62 and 11-60.1-82. Permits are either Covered Source Permits (major sources and sources subject to federal NSPS, NESHAP, or PSD; Hawaii's Title V-equivalent program) or Noncovered Source Permits (all other sources). Both have initial, renewal, temporary, general, modification, and transfer actions. Agricultural burning permits are also issued.
- StateTexas air permitsTexas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). TCEQ authorizes new and modified air emission sources through a tiered system under New Source Review (NSR): de minimis, permits by rule (PBR), standard permits, and case-by-case NSR permits, with federal PSD and nonattainment review for major sources. Major sites also need a federal operating permit (Title V), issued as a site operating permit (SOP) or general operating permit (GOP).
