Pruet Production Company's, McLeod 30-11 Number 1 Production Facility, located at 4715 Highway 18 West, Lease Road, in Quitman, MS, and Fleming et al 30-15 Number 1 Production Facility, located at County Road 118, in Quitman, MS, (601) 948-5279 have applied to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for the following permitting action(s): Construction Permit Modifications, Air Ref. No. 0440-00067 and 0400-00068. The applicant's operations fall within SIC Code 1311. A Statement of Basis has been prepared that contains a discussion of the decision-making that went into the development of the permit and provides the permitting authority, the public, and other government bodies a record of the technical issues surrounding issuance of the permits. The Statement of Basis also addresses any changes to emissions and/or discharges resulting from any modification of the facilities.
Pruet Production Company (Pruet) McLeod 30-11 Number 1 Production Facility and Fleming et al 30-15 Number 1 Production Facility are oil and gas production sites categorized under SIC Code 1311 located in Quitman (Clarke County), MS. Pruet purchased the McLeod 30-11 Number 1 Production Facility and Fleming et al 30-15 Number 1 Production Facility from Sklarr Exploration (Sklar) in November, 2018 and was transferred the associated construction permits. The primary function of both facilities is to recover crude oil and natural gas from their respective well completions for separation into a marketable product
Pruet has provided the DEQ with updated well data demonstrating that the maximum, uncontrolled emissions of each facility fall below the Title V thresholds for all criteria pollutants. These emissions allow both facilities to be classified as True Minor Sources. As such, both permits will be modified to remove all existing, non-applicable monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
The staff of the Permit Board has developed these draft permits based on information submitted to the Permit Board by the applicant, appropriate State and Federal agencies and other interested parties. The staff of the Permit Board is soliciting all relative information pertaining to the proposed activity, including public comment, to ensure that the final staff recommendation on the draft permit complies with all State and Federal regulations. Public review and comment on the draft permit and supporting documentation is an important element in the staff evaluation and resulting recommendation to the Permit Board. The draft permit conditions have been developed to ensure compliance with all State and Federal regulations but are subject to change based on information received as a result of public participation.
Persons wishing to comment upon or object to the proposed determinations are invited to submit comments in writing to Clinton Gentry at https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/Gentry-Clinton/ or to the Permit Board address shown above, no later than the end of the thirty (30) day public notice. All comments received by this date will be considered in the formulation of final determinations regarding the application(s). A public hearing will be held if the Permit Board finds a significant degree of public interest in the proposed permit(s). Persons wishing to request a public hearing may do so by submitting that request in writing to Clinton Gentry at https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/Gentry-Clinton/ or to the Permit Board address shown above. The Permit Board is limited in the scope of its analysis to environmental impact. Any comments relative to zoning or economic and social impacts are within the jurisdiction of local zoning and planning authorities and should be addressed to them.
