Summary

EPA, the Department of Justice, and the State of Colorado entered into a settlement with HighPoint Operating Corporation that will require the company to identify and address emissions from vapor control systems at HighPoint?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, HighPoint has agreed to perform an environmental mitigation project. When fully implemented, the settlement is expected to reduce harmful air pollution by an estimated 400 tons per year. This settlement is part of the EPA?s national compliance initiative to ensure energy extraction activities comply with environmental laws.
