Air GOP No. 513: Oil and Gas General Operating Permit

NEW GOP No. 513 has been renewed and revised.

On October 15, 2025, the TCEQ issued revised Oil and Gas General Operating Permit (GOP) Number 513. The renewed and revised GOP was proposed on February 28, 2025, and the public comment period closed on March 31, 2025. One positive comment was received. Please refer to the Statement of Basis linked below for detailed descriptions of the revisions and the comment.

Current permit holders are required to submit an application for a new authorization to operate (ATO), if any of the emission units, applicability determinations, or the basis for the applicability determinations are affected by the revisions in the GOP. If the revisions in the GOP do not affect your site, a new ATO is not required. For information on how to submit an application for an ATO, please refer to the GOP Guidance.

An authorization to operate (ATO) will be required no later than 90 days after the issuance of the GOP.

Any person affected by this action may petition the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make an objection. Procedures and requirements for filing a petition can be found in the Statements of Basis.
