This position exists to implement a process that provides for a thorough environmental review of OGDPs, Form 2A Location Assessments, and Comprehensive Area Plans (CAPs) under current ECMC rules for oil and gas, and surface siting for Class VI wells (CCS), deep geothermal, and underground natural gas storage operations upon promulgation of new rules, anticipated to take place throughout 2023 and 2024.
