Please join us as we discuss important air-quality permitting, compliance, and enforcement issues related to non-road and stationary engines. Operators in the oil and gas and other industrial sectors rely on these engines to power their operations. Yet, a complex patchwork of state and federal air quality rules and regulations often make compliance difficult, which can significantly impact day-to-day business operations. Attendees will get an in-depth look at a variety of issues that manufacturers, owners, and operators of these engines in Colorado, and elsewhere, need to be aware of to avoid compliance pitfalls and serious business interruptions, including:

• Changes to Colorado’s Regulation 3 governing Internal Combustion Engines
• Colorado Permit Process including Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN), Construction Permit, and Portable Permit
• Applicability of Quad Z requirements governing Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
• Applicability of Quad J requirements governing Stationary Spark-Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
• Applicability of Non-Road Large Spark Ignited (LSI) rules and regulations, and their overlap with stationary engine requirements
• A unique perspective from EPA Region 8 on compliance and enforcement considerations under EPA’s engine regulations

Our speakers are at the forefront of air quality issues related to both non-road and stationary engines throughout the Rocky Mountain West and across the country. This session will offer critical compliance and practical advice for any business facing engine-related air quality issues, including manufacturers, owners, and operators.

Please join us for the first session of a two-part series on Hydraulic Fracturing Water Resources and Management. Water, as a critical component in oil and gas development, can at times become a limiting factor that can impact production and new development. Managing the large volumes of waste water produced during hydraulic fracturing operations presents a myriad of logistical and regulatory challenges.

In this session, our speakers will present a demonstration on the use of a dynamic simulation modeling tool as an approach to evaluating the short and long term logistical and capital planning aspects of water management.

Additionally, attendees will get an in-depth look at the legal and regulatory framework governing the management of hydraulic fracturing waste fluids, including flowback water and produced water. We will address state and federal legal requirements governing the storage, transportation, and disposition (recycling, underground injection, land application, and surface discharge) of these fluids.

Speakers for this program are:

• Tekla Taylor, U.S. Energy Services Leader, Golder Associates
• Adam Cohen, Partner, Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP
