On March 23, 2017 the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted a new state-wide regulation to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. All parties, including CARB and the Valley’s oil and gas industry, agreed that administration of this regulation by the District would result in a more effective implementation of the new state regulation at lower cost.
