EPA to Hold Public Hearing in Pittsburgh on Proposed Air Pollution Standards for Oil and Natural Gas Production
PHILADELPHIA (Sept. 15, 2011) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold three public hearings in September on the agency’s proposed standards to reduce air pollution from oil and gas drilling operations. The proposed standards would rely on cost-effective, existing technologies and practices to reduce pollution that contributes to smog and can cause cancer, while supporting the administration’s priority of continuing to expand safe and responsible domestic oil and natural gas production. The first hearing will be held in Pittsburgh on September 27. The other hearings will be in Denver, Colorado and Arlington, Texas.
WHAT:EPA public hearing in Pittsburgh on proposed air pollution standards for the oil and natural gas industry will be held.
WHEN: 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27
WHERE: David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Rooms 315-316 1000 Ft. Duquesne Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15222

People also may sign up to speak in person on the day of a hearing; however, they may
