BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY

BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY is a single-site upstream oil and gas operation — NAICS 211111, crude petroleum extraction — located in the Farmington, New Mexico area of the San Juan Basin. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) exporter, refreshed 2026-05-04, records one facility (EPA Registry Id 110041891897), zero quarters with noncompliance logged in the trailing 24 months, and an imputed penalty exposure of $3,760,000 derived from the five-year total scaled to a 24-month window [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The site carries no active permits flagged in the current ECHO extract. No top-pollutant identifiers are populated in the federal data feed as of the pull date [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The operator is privately held. It files no SEC 10-K or 10-Q and publishes no public sustainability report discoverable through standard search surfaces. That absence means the gap between stated environmental posture and measured regulatory outcomes cannot be reconciled through issuer disclosure; the entire compliance picture rests on federal ECHO data and New Mexico state permit records. Within its NAICS peer cohort in the San Juan and Permian basins, the $3.76M penalty figure sits materially below three higher-ranked peers — GREKA BELL COMPRESSOR PLANT ($26.16M), RED HILLS GAS PROCESSING PLANT ($19.13M), and HP GAS PAD ($16.13M) — none of which carry active permits in the same extract [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That spread — nearly seven-to-one between BERT NO1T and GREKA BELL — is the sharpest single data point available for contextualizing the facility's relative federal enforcement exposure. Readers should treat the zero-violation count as a ceiling on ECHO-reported quarterly noncompliance rather than a full record of state-level New Mexico Oil Conservation Division or Environment Department actions, which are not indexed in the ECHO exporter field used here.

EPA ECHO data for BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY resolves to a single facility identifier (110041891897) in Farmington, NM. The derivation methodology for the 24-month window is explicitly stated as `viol_24mo=min(qtrs_with_nc,8); penalty_24mo=total_5yr*(24/60)` [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Under that formula, the facility registers zero quarters of federally reported noncompliance across Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and RCRA programs during the trailing 24 months ending May 2026. The $3.76M figure therefore represents a prorated share of five-year penalty exposure, not a fresh monetary judgment inside the 24-month window.

Chronologically, the last 24 months show no federally indexed enforcement milestones in the ECHO exporter tied to this facility identifier. No new NPDES, Title V, or RCRA permit issuances appear in the `active_permits_count` or `latest_permit_date` fields pulled from the May 2026 extract [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No federal consent decree discoverable in the Department of Justice ENRD archive attaches to this operator. The only Exa-surfaced consent decree in adjacent search space is United States v. Barton Solvents, S.D. Iowa Civ. No. 15-378 — an unrelated matter cited here solely to confirm that no dedicated federal action against BERT NO1T appears in the reviewed record [source: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/enrd/pages/attachments/2015/10/26/barton_consent_decree.pdf]. EPA's Facility Registry Service does return hits for lexically similar but entirely distinct entities: BERT WELL INDUSTRIES SITE in Kent, WA (Registry Id 110002149817) and BERTCH CABINET MFG in Jesup, IA (Registry Id 110001756430). Neither should be conflated with the Farmington oil and gas site [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110002149817] [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110001756430].

The broader San Juan Basin context matters here. Upstream operators in the basin have faced growing state and federal attention on methane, VOCs, and produced-water handling across the 2024–2026 period, and Farmington sits within a dense cluster of wellpads with overlapping operator histories. ECHO's zero-violation reading for BERT NO1T does not extend to New Mexico Environment Department Air Quality Bureau dockets, New Mexico Oil Conservation Division spill reports (Form C-141), or methane rule compliance reporting under 20.2.50 NMAC — none of which feed into the ECHO exporter field structure used for this briefing [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Absent a 10-K, 10-Q, or published sustainability disclosure, the 24-month compliance narrative for this operator is bounded by federal ECHO coverage and should be read as such.

No discrete enforcement actions — administrative order, consent agreement, civil penalty, or judicial consent decree — are recorded against EPA Registry Id 110041891897 in the ECHO exporter extract dated 2026-05-04 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The reported `violation_count_24mo` equals 0. The `penalty_total_24mo` of $3,760,000 is a proration of the five-year total under the derivation `total_5yr*(24/60)`, not a sum of discrete 24-month assessments [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Because the exporter does not itemize the underlying five-year penalty events in the fields provided, program attribution across CWA, CAA, RCRA, and SDWA cannot be assigned from this feed alone.

No federal court docket naming BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY surfaced in Exa neural-search of CourtListener, PACER, or DOJ ENRD inventories during the review window [source: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/enrd/pages/attachments/2015/10/26/barton_consent_decree.pdf]. A Brave news sweep across the 30 days preceding the pull date returned no company-specific enforcement reporting. The eight items retrieved pertained to unrelated entities — Netflix, BYD, Novartis, Winnebago Manufacturing, DIMOR Group, Turpaz Industries, 9T Labs/Biwi, and a Massachusetts seafood facility worker-safety case — none of which involve the Farmington operator [source: https://masslawyersweekly.com/2026/05/03/worker-trapped-in-freezer-dies-during-steam-cleaning/] [source: https://cnbc.com/2026/04/28/byd-eu-parliament-labor-abuse-hungary-factory-investigation.html]. For a full enforcement picture, readers should consult the ECHO Detailed Facility Report for Registry Id 110041891897 directly and cross-reference New Mexico Environment Department and OCD state dockets, which fall outside the scope of the federal exporter used here [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY (Farmington, NM; EPA Registry Id 110041891897) is the sole facility associated with this operator slug in the ECHO exporter, and the `facility_count` field confirms a 1:1 entity-to-site mapping [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The site's `ej_index_avg` is recorded as 0.0. In EPA data schema, that value typically signals that EJScreen block-group indices were not joined rather than confirming an absence of environmental justice exposure. The San Juan Basin hosts significant Navajo Nation allotment lands and Chapter communities with documented cumulative air-quality burdens — a context ECHO's null field does not resolve [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

No other facilities are tied to the BERT NO1T slug in the provided dataset, so the standard top-5 ranking by EJ exposure or violation count collapses to this single site. The regional peer frame is instructive nonetheless. Adjacent Farmington-area operators flagged in the NAICS 211111/211120/211130 benchmark set — notably HP GAS PAD and RED HILLS GAS PROCESSING PLANT — each logged 8 quarters of noncompliance in the same 24-month window, with penalty exposures of $16.13M and $19.13M respectively. Those figures are four to five times the BERT NO1T figure and provide a concrete regional reference for what elevated federal enforcement activity looks like in this basin [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. For broader New Mexico facility context, EPA FRS remains the authoritative cross-walk for registry identifiers and program linkages [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110002149817].

The ECHO exporter returns an empty `top_pollutants` array for BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY, meaning TRI, DMR, and NEI flags are either null or not joined in this extract [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That silence in the federal feed does not mean the site emits nothing. The relevant pollutant profile must be drawn from sector norms for NAICS 211111 crude petroleum extraction in the San Juan Basin.

Three emission signatures dominate. First, methane and associated volatile organic compounds — including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) — are the primary fugitive releases from wellhead and tank-battery operations. Exposure pathways concentrate in downwind ambient air near pads and compressor stations, where BTEX compounds have been measured at elevated levels in basin-wide monitoring campaigns. Second, produced water and associated brines carry chloride, barium, and naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) loadings; groundwater and surface-water exposure pathways are driven by pit integrity, tank seals, and transport spills, with New Mexico OCD Form C-141 spill data serving as the primary state-level record for such events. Third, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a localized acute-exposure hazard in sour-gas zones of the basin, with inhalation as the primary pathway.

Environmental justice implications in the Farmington area are anchored by proximity to Navajo communities and to school and residential receptors within the Greater Chaco region — a context documented in regional reporting on extractive buildout across New Mexico [source: https://elchuqueno.com/the-santa-teresa-data-center-on-pollutants-permits-and-project-alphabet-soup/]. Because the ECHO feed does not attach specific pollutants to this facility ID, these sector-level pathways are presented as context, not as measured emissions from the site [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Against its nearest NAICS 211111/211120/211130 peer set, BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY posts the lowest 24-month penalty exposure of the four-entity cohort — $3.76M versus a peer range of $16.13M to $26.16M — and the lowest reported violation count: zero quarters of noncompliance, tied with GREKA BELL COMPRESSOR PLANT, versus 8 quarters each at RED HILLS GAS PROCESSING PLANT and HP GAS PAD [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. All four peers show `active_permits_count` of 0 and `ej_index_avg` of 0.0 in the May 2026 extract. That uniform null pattern indicates the EJScreen join is systematically unpopulated across this cohort rather than signaling an absence of community exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Relative ranking is defensible on penalty and violation fields but should not be read as a cross-facility EJ ranking.

No SEC Item 1A disclosure exists for this issuer. BERT NO1T PRODUCTION FACILITY is privately held with no CIK on file, and the provided 10-K and 10-Q payloads are empty [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Forward-looking environmental risk for a Farmington-area upstream operator of this scale is conventionally tied to three regulatory vectors: New Mexico's 20.2.50 NMAC methane rule, BLM venting and flaring restrictions on federal and Indian minerals, and potential federal methane-fee exposure under the Inflation Reduction Act's Waste Emissions Charge. None of those risks are quantified in issuer filings here because no filings exist. Analysts tracking this counterparty must rely on state OCD and NMED dockets and on EPA FRS for facility-level signal [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110002149817].
