We have had so many successes and achievements over the past 12 months, I don’t really know where to begin or end. GPA continues its strive to be the authoritative voice of the midstream industry on behalf of our membership. It seems like just yesterday, we were scrambling to accommodate the biggest turnout for a GPA Convention in recent history. All the while, we were dealing with key legislative and regulatory issues, working on our own policy improvements, continuing research initiatives, growing chapter involvement, being active internationally, planning the 2012 convention and more. And speaking of legislative and regulatory issues, we are particularly proud of the outstanding efforts of our Environmental Committee’s work on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) RICE MACT and Subpart W issues. Their efforts have decisively challenged EPA into making significant changes to their rulemakings that enormously benefit GPA members. Without the efforts of this committee, GPA member companies would be subject to paying literally hundreds of millions of dollars in additional regulatory expenses.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff.

PST and O & G records have been reviewed for this area. Our records have confirmed a former (historic) gasoline station on the west side of your proposed site, current underground storage tanks on an adjacent property, and a oil well site ¼ mile to your north, but no currently known source with a viable responsible party is on your site. To be eligible for Brownfields, a site cannot be assessed, investigated, or cleaned up by a person potentially liable for cleaning up the site, or be subject to a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) §9003(h)corrective action order. No known assessment or cleanup work on this site by a responsible party, or RCRA corrective action order, are currently know for this site. The Commission Brownfields staff, after review of your request, has concluded that the property appears to be a low risk petroleum site when compared to sites EPA considers to be high risk petroleum sites, such as LUST trust petroleum sites and Oil Pollution Act (OPA) sites. Therefore, at this time, we find that the property is eligible for our Brownfields program and meets the federal petroleum Brownfields site definition. Sincerely, Patricia Billingsley Brownfields Coordinator CC: Jeff Myers, Brownfields SERVICE - ASSISTANCE – COMPLIANCE EXCELLENCE IS OUR STANDARD Tim Baker, Manager, Pollution Abatement SERVICE - ASSISTANCE – COMPLIANCE EXCELLENCE IS OUR STANDARD .
