Notice of Tentative Decision To Deny Fundamentally Different Factors Variance Requests

摘要

EPA Region 6 intends to deny the Fundamentally Different Factors Variance requests submitted by a group of Oil and Gas Industry companies that own and operate oil production platforms and developed and undeveloped lease blocks in the Gulf of Mexico. These facilities are subject to limitations for the Offshore Subcategory of the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source Category. The requests seek alternate best available technology economically achievable (BAT) oil and grease limits for produced water discharges.
