STRONGER has published the 2022 Edition of the Guidelines for the Review of State Oil & Gas Environmental Regulatory Programs (“The Guidelines”). The 2022 Edition includes updates to the Administrative Criteria to enhance penalty guidance, public participation, and agency coordination with Environmental Justice (EJ) considerations. The STRONGER Board of Directors received input from Pennsylvania DEP, Colorado CDPHE, Clean Air Task Force, and Central Valley Air Quality Coalition in developing these updates. The changes represent practical steps that state oil and gas regulatory agencies should consider when engaging with the communities they serve. Ohio will be the first state to undergo a review with these updates. View and compare the changes from the 2019.2 Edition here.
