Law professor comment on BLM proposal to revoke methane rule
Comment ids flaws in BLM’s proposal to revoke rule restricting methane emissions from oil and gas development on federal lands
I’ve already posted a couple of times on BLM’s proposal to revoke a rule that limits methane emissions (a major greenhouse gas) from oil and gas operations on federal lands. The period for public comment on BLM’s proposal closes today. A group of environmental law professors just filed a comment noting major legal problems with the BLM proposal. You can review our comment here: BLM Waste Prevention Rule Comment_final. We hope that BLM will reconsider its approach on the issue.

Good and thorough legal analysis! Hope you all will litigate this when your arguments get inevitably ignored by BLM.
