Year Published: 1987
Abstract: Natural gas transmission and distribution companies do not have the obvious environmental impacts of large centralized smokestack industries. Why then should these companies be concerned about environmental issues? The main reason is that environmental regulations have become so comprehensive, technically detailed, and strict that few (if any) businesses are not affected. This paper outlines the federal environmental requirements most commonly applied to natural gas transmission and distribution companies. It is not intended as a comprehensive guide for complying with specific laws and regulations. Standards for air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste disposal, land use, and so on, may not apply in die same way to different companies. Regulations are constantly being reviewed and revised, so that requirements change over time. In addition, state and local environmental requirements are also beyond the scope of this outline, This does not mean that tliey are any less important than federal requirements. It is in any companys best interest to identify all current legal and regulatory obligations, understand how these obligations affect their business, and undertake necessary compliance actions.
