The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) has issued a draft federal Part 70 permit to Venoco, Inc. for the Carpinteria Gas Plant.

The separate permits that cover the gas plant and pipeline facility are being combined into one permit, which covers the entire stationary source. The Part 70 permit regulates oil, water, and gas processing at the Carpinteria Gas Plant. Once issued by the District and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Part 70 permits will be valid for three years.  The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA and the public.
