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.

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.

THE REGULATORS ARE COMING! Corporation Commission hosting annual conference dealing with pocketbook, government issues How can consumers be empowered and protected when it comes to their utility bill? What changes are in store for your telephone bill? How should regulators respond to sharply rising natural gas prices? Members of the National Conference of Regulatory Attorneys (NCRA) will be tackling these and many other consumer-related questions at the organization’s upcoming convention in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is hosting the event. Commission Administrative Law Judge Robert Goldfield is NCRA President. “The fact that the OCC has been given the honor of hosting such an event speaks volumes for the caliber of our staffers,” said Corporation Commission Chairman Denise Bode. Bode will be a keynote speaker at the conference. She will speak on the need for regulators to critically examine their duties and functions in light of the needs of consumers, and to be more pro-active in redefining their role in today’s changing regulatory environment. Commissioner Jeff Cloud will also address the conference. “This is an absolutely critical time for state and federal utility regulators,” said Cloud. “New technologies, changes in the marketplace, and competing calls for consumer protection and deregulation have turned what was once considered a rather mundane task into an awesome responsibility.” Other speakers at the event include officials with the Federal Communications Commission, The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
