### Al'l'ENDIX B EMISSION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS A. Applicability TIlese requirements apply to existing and new emission sources associated with oil production from theBakken Formation on the .FortBcl1hold Indian Reservation inNorth Dakota and target the control ofcasinghead gas emissions (also known as treater gas) ani emissions from oil and**prod~lced** water storage tanks (tanks). 

## n. COlltrol Requirements AU casinghead ga's and tank emissions must hecontrolled or captured llpon start ofproduction. 

### Jfgas gathering infrastructure is in place, casingheadgas shull be routed to II gas gathering pipoJioc as soon as pmcticablc. When a pipeline is not available. casinghead gas
