The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is moving ahead with plans to reduce methane pollution from oil and gas facilities.
Last Thursday the agency introduced two new General Permits for natural gas infrastructure as the first two parts of a four part plan.
The methane reduction strategy was formulated with a goal of drastically lowering the potent greenhouse gas and other toxic air pollutants that leak from oil and gas facilities.
Pennsylvania is the second-largest natural gas producing state in the country.
