EPA released a new rule requiring natural gas processing facilities to publicly report emissions of hazardous air pollutants to EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory, in an effort to alert the public to the pollutants that companies are releasing in their communities. This action was long awaited. Groups petitioned the EPA to create a rule in 2012 which was denied in 2015 and a formal proposal was made in 2017, but not made final until 2021.
