If you operate oil & gas or industrial sites in Eddy, Lea, San Juan, Sandoval, Rio Arriba, Chaves, Doña Ana, or Valencia counties, you’re under New Mexico’s Part 50 Ozone Precursor Rule (20.2.50 NMAC).
The rule targets VOC and NOₓ emissions. Key requirements include:
✅ Calculate and certify their Potential to Emit (PTE)
✅Control or capture emissions (≥95% for certain equipment)
✅ Implement leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs
✅ Maintain site-specific records and documentation
✅ Monitor regional updates to anticipate future applicability, if outside these counties
Rule Engineering can help you stay ahead of deadlines with:
🔹Emission calculations and PTE certifications
🔹New or renewal air permit applications
🔹Tailored compliance plans
