The Feather River Air Quality Management District (District) will conduct a public hearing to receive comments and consider the adoption of a negative declaration for the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry, pursuant to Sections 172(c)(1), 182 (b)(2), and 182(f) of the federal Clean Air Act.

The documents are also available in the District’s office: 541 Washington Avenue, Yuba City, CA 95991.

By this notice, the public is invited to comment on the negative declaration RACT analysis. Written comments can be submitted to Christopher D.
