The Environmental Improvement Board will consider NMED’s petition to adopt proposed new rule 20.2.51 NMAC, Methane Abatement. The proposal would establish a state methane super-emitter program: qualified entities could seek certification as third-party notifiers and submit detections made with approved remote methane-sensing technologies. A super-emitter event is defined as a detected emissions event with a quantified methane rate of at least 50 kg/hr. NMED would review notifications and provide them to owners or operators of sources within 50 meters; operators would investigate the event, repair responsible leaks, and report their findings to NMED. The proposal would also require zero methane emissions from designated facilities with natural-gas-driven process controllers, including gathering and boosting stations, processing plants, tank batteries, transmission compressor stations, and well sites. It sets out exemptions, closed-vent-system design and operating requirements, inspections of closed-vent systems and self-contained controllers, and annual reporting of inspections and repairs. The hearing is open to the public and allows technical testimony, general public testimony, written comments, and cross-examination. The Board may act on the proposal after hearing the testimony and evidence.
