Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO MITIGATE OZONE POLLUTION IN THE STATE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address ozone pollution in Colorado through several key provisions:
1. It requires the Air Pollution Control Division to propose rules by August 31, 2026 to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from upstream oil and gas operations, including preproduction operations, in the 8-hour ozone control area and Northern Weld County by 50% by 2030 compared to 2017 levels.
2. It enhances the Air Pollution Control Division's enforcement authority, including requiring them to prepare annual reports on enforcement actions and sharing enforcement updates with interested parties.
3. It allows the Air Pollution Control Division to consider more stringent methods for new sources of NOx in disproportionately impacted communities in the ozone nonattainment area.
4. It requires the Energy and Carbon Management Commission to appoint community liaisons to serve as dedicated resources for disproportionately impacted communities regarding Commission regulation.
5. It provides additional appropriations to the Department of Public Health and Environment and the Department of Natural Resources to implement the bill's requirements.
Overall, the bill aims to further reduce ozone precursor emissions, particularly from the oil and gas industry, and enhance transparency and community engagement around the state's air quality enforcement efforts.
