Industry to make sure we werent being overly aggressive about the ability to have the technologies available for full implementation. Has epa actually quantified how much of the voc reduction the nsps has actually yielded to this point . We do have a good signal from our Greenhouse Gas reporting program that its already been tremendously effective at reducing Carbon Pollution because Carbon Pollution is reduced as youre catching those volatile organic compounds. So we do have a very good sense that this is being effective already. I understand its already about 190 to 290,000 tons. Thats right. Is the estimate. Has epa quantified methane reductions as a cobenefit . We have and i can provide those numbers. I dont have them at the tip of i think i have them. Its about 73 decrease . Excellent. So in january this year the white house released a strategy of reducing oil pollution. They released pro terrible resources like oil wells pumps leaks as well as well sites and compression stations.
Achieve the interests of local income local low income and minority communities. In cases where states may not be sure how to conduct Environmental Justice analysis or how to define an Environmental Justice community then i believe it would be helpful if the epa provided states with guidance and resources to help protect their most vulnerable communities which we all know have the least amount of influence to help themselves. Can you speak to this issue and assure me that one, epa is listening and working with the Environmental Justice as the agency prepares to finalize the rule skprks two, the agency will provide states with guidance data, tools and resources to help identify and protect these communities . I can assure you of that Ranking Member and i would also point out that our Environmental Justice budget is given an increase of 7. 3 million this year which will go a long way to helping us provide those tools.
