Mewbourne will also have to spend another $4.6 million to make sure its oil and gas battery pads comply with regulations. The government contended the wells produced unlawful air pollution from its oil and gas wells in the three states.
A report by TCD indicated the Justice Department stated the cleanup efforts should bring an end to the emission of 11,000 tons of pollution a year, 9,900 tons of volatile organic compounds and 1,300 tons of methane.
“The result will be cleaner, healthier air for communities in New Mexico and Texas,” said Larry Starfield, principal deputy assistant administrator for the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
