B. Control Requirements All casinghead gas and tankemissions must be controlledorcaptured upon startofproduction. 

## Ir gas gathering infrastructure is in place. casinghead gas shall be routed to II gas gathcnng pipeline us SOOn as practicable. When a pipeline is DOt llvailllble, casinghead gas is required lo be roUted to a control system ordevice in the Conlrol YSlcm List below. The Control SYMcm List ulso applies to emissions from oil and produced waterstorage tanks. Capture orcontrol dt:vices shall be operated at all times when emissions muy be vcnu:d 10 them. The owncr/opemtorshall maintain and operate all air pollution control equipment. and all equipment employed to contain and collect vapors andtransport them to the emissioncontrol system ordevice, in nccordrmcc with the manufacturer's rt:commendations nnd in nmunnerconsistent with good air pollullon control practice for minimizing emissions.
