Coordination
of Environmental Requirements with Other Agencies
The Pacific
Region regularly coordinates and consults with other Federal, State
and local agencies and assists them with ensuring environmental and
regulatory requirements under those jurisdictions and authorities
are implemented and complied with.
Coordination
examples include:
-
Water
Quality Sampling. Pacific
Region Environmental Liaisons work closely with EPA Region IX to
perform water quality sampling for compliance with the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
-
Offshore Air
Quality Compliance. The Pacific Region
coordinates with local Air Pollution Control Districts on
environmental reviews and monitoring of air quality requirements for
oil & gas projects.
-
Pacific
Region Dive Team.
The Pacific
Region supports an underwater dive team of MMS scientists who work
with other Southern California Federal and State agencies to ensure
baseline conditions are understood,
mitigations are being implemented,
and there is no residual damage from offshore oil & gas projects.
