Are there standards that control methane emitted from existing oil and gas facilities (the facilities on the Threat Map)?

• In Utah, no. Utah has taken steps to reduce emissions in the oil and gas sectors, but even with these preliminary actions the state’s efforts lag behind its neighbors.
• At the federal level, no. But the Environmental Protection Agency is conducting an Information Collection Request that could lead to standards.

Are there standards that control methane emitted from new or modified oil and gas facilities emitting this pollution?
