Preliminary Decision to Approve Emission Reduction
Credits for BreitBurn Energy

The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has made a preliminary decision to approve emission reduction credits for BreitBurn Energy. An emission reduction credit is earned by a company when it reduces air emissions beyond what is required by permits and rules. It is an asset that can be used by its owner or sold to companies that need emission offsets..

Emission reduction credit amounts to be approved BreitBurn Energy are:        

BreitBurn Energy plans to create these emission reduction credits by electrifying 17 injection well pump engines at the Newlove, Newlove 67 and Pinal leases in the Orcutt Hill area.   The APCD finds that the proposed emission reductions credits meet the requirements for approval pursuant to our Rules 804 and 806.

Files for this application are available for review at the APCD, 260 North San Antonio Road, Suite A, Santa Barbara, CA. The APCD’s Preliminary Decision of Issuance for this project is available on this page.   

The APCD invites written comments on the proposed decision to issue emission reduction credits. Written comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m., November 16, 2007 to: Michael F. Goldman, Santa Barbara County APCD, 260 North San Antonio Road, Suite A, Santa Barbara, CA 93110. For more information, call 805.961.8821
