OSTI ID:6783899

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issues final effluent limitations guidelines establishing ''best practical control technology currently available'' for the offshore, onshore, coastal, and agricultural and wildlife water use subcategories in the oil and gas extraction industry. These final regulations combine the near and far offshore subcategories of the offshore segment of the industry into a single offshore subcategory. The beneficial use subcategory is renamed the agricultural and wildlife water use subcategory. The definition of the stripper subcategory is clarified; however, since the EPA does not yet have sufficient technical data to promulgate effluent limitations for this subcategory, those sections remain reserved. This regulation also promulgates, as interim final, changes in the descriptions and applicability of the coastal and agricultural and wildlife water use subcategories. These regulations are effective as of 4/13/79. Comments must be received by the EPA on or before 6/12/79.
