Summary

EPA, the Department of Justice, and the State of Colorado entered into a settlement with K.P. Kauffman that will require the company to identify and address emissions from vapor control systems at K.P. Kauffman?s condensate storage tank batteries. The tank batteries are all located in an area that has not met EPA?s 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone (the ?nonattainment area?). In addition to implementing measures that will ensure its vapor control systems in the area are properly designed, sized, operated, and maintained, K.P. Kauffman has agreed to perform two environmental mitigation projects. When fully implemented, the settlement is expected to reduce harmful air pollution by an estimated 555 tons over the life of the decree. This settlement is part of the EPA?s 2019 national compliance initiative to ensure energy extraction activities comply with environmental laws.
