Environmental groups sue to force BLM to implement methane rule

Seventeen environmental organizations have sued in US District Court for Northern California to compel the US Bureau of Land Management to implement its oil and gas 2016 methane venting and flaring rule. Their Dec. 19 action challenges BLM’s decision earlier in December to delay most of the regulation’s compliance deadlines until Jan. 29, 2019, while the agency reviews it further.
