Apr 25, 2018· Mass Comment Campaign sponsored by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) (web)· EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0216-0572

To Whom It May Concern: Attached, please find the signatures of 38,573 Environmental Defense Fund supporters from across the country who have submitted comments opposing EPA's Notice of Proposed Withdrawal of the Control Techniques Guidelines for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry under Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0216. The comment they each submitted reads: I'm writing seriously concerned over the EPA's decision to roll back Control Techniques Guidelines that help state, local, and tribal air quality agencies set standards for reducing air pollution emissions from oil and gas industry sources that contribute to smog formation. The oil and gas industry is the leading man-made source of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are a key component of ground-level ozone, or smog. This dangerous air pollutant puts Americans at risk and can lead to an early death from respiratory disease. Research has found that smog pollution from the oil and gas industry could lead to an additional 750,000 summertime childhood asthma attacks across the country every year. Without CTGs providing a baseline, communities would have fewer protections from this harmful air pollution and 25 million people will be at increased risk for air pollution. They deserve the protections that the EPA is supposed to guarantee. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this submission. Thank you for your consideration, Heather Shelby Manager, Grassroots Organizing & Activism Environmental Defense Fund hshelby@edf.org (202) 572 3242

Abstract

Oil and natural gas production is a significant source of ozone-forming volatile organic compounds. EPA’s regulations to reduce emissions from the oil and natural gas industry generally do not address existing sources. This Control Techniques Guideline will extend control measures from the Oil and Natural Gas New Source Performance Standards to existing sources.
