California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff invites you to participate in two public workshops conducted jointly with the California Department of Conservation Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to discuss joint rulemaking activities related to California Senate Bill 1137 (SB 1137). CARB's presentation will focus on the development of performance standards for the emissions detection systems required within the leak detection and response plans (LDRP) that operators of oil and gas production wells and production facilities located within 3, 200 feet of certain populated areas (health protection zones) must submit to CalGEM for approval under the new legislation. CalGEM's presentation will focus on the process to make permanent emergency regulations regarding health protection zones for oil and gas operations.

The workshops will be held on the evenings of Wednesday, March 19, 2025, and Thursday, March 20, 2025, via remote access through Zoom. See below for details. Both workshops will cover the same material and are open to the public.
