On November 30, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a final rule to reduce emissions of methane and other harmful air pollutants from oil and natural gas operations, including oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission, and storage. As a result, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC) Division of Air Pollution Control (APC) must develop a State Plan for existing oil and gas facilities in Tennessee and submit it to EPA for approval by March 9, 2026.
TDEC plans to meaningfully engage with pertinent stakeholders to develop a State Plan that meets EPA’s requirements. We want to hear from you and welcome your input on the State Plan.
