DOUBLE X BOOSTER STATION

Double X Booster Station is a single-asset natural gas compression facility sitting approximately 30 miles west of Jal, Lea County, New Mexico, classified under NAICS 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas). EPA ECHO identifies the site under Facility Registry ID 110007014051, with the most recent permit action dated April 9, 1985 and zero currently listed active permits in the ECHO export [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. ECHO-derived metrics show zero quarters of non-compliance across the trailing 24 months. The 24-month penalty allocation stands at $12,641,946.40, computed by pro-rating a five-year total across the 24-month window [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Third-party aggregator PollutionScan reports a cumulative five-year penalty total of $31,604,866 tied to one formal Clean Air Act action, with zero inspections and zero violation quarters recorded over the most recent three-year display window [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm].

The facility is privately held and files no SEC disclosures. That gap eliminates the reconciliation normally available between 10-K Item 1A risk language and measured EPA outcomes. What remains is an unusual pattern: a large historical monetary penalty coexisting with no recent inspections — PollutionScan records 14,936 days since last evaluation — and no open violation quarters [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm]. The gap is not a rounding error. Fourteen thousand nine hundred thirty-six days reaches back to the mid-1980s under the aggregator's data model, roughly contemporaneous with the April 9, 1985 permit action in ECHO. Regional context sharpens the picture: on October 24, 2024, EPA finalized a Clean Air Act settlement with XTO Energy Inc. that now sets the federal enforcement posture for upstream and midstream gas emissions controls across Permian-basin compressor operations [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement]. That settlement is the live benchmark against which Double X Booster Station's compliance record must be read.

Double X Booster Station occupies the Lea County edge of the Permian Basin, a corridor dense with gas processing and compression assets. EPA ECHO records a single regulated facility under FRS ID 110007014051 and no active permits as of the May 4, 2026 exporter snapshot, with the most recent permit action dated April 9, 1985 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The ECHO-derived 24-month penalty allocation of $12,641,946.40 follows the formula penalty_24mo = total_5yr × (24/60); the underlying five-year total of $31,604,866 is corroborated by PollutionScan's facility page, which also records one formal Clean Air Act action and zero quarters of non-compliance across the displayed three-year history [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm].

A chronological reconstruction of the past 24 months runs into a hard constraint: no recent inspection events exist to anchor the timeline. PollutionScan reports zero evaluations and 14,936 days since the last recorded evaluation — an inspection gap extending back to the mid-1980s under the aggregator's data model [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm]. No EPA press release, DOJ filing, or CourtListener docket in the assembled research bundle references Double X Booster Station by name during the trailing 24 months. The facility's sole formal action sits outside that window on the historical ledger. The pro-rated 24-month penalty figure published by ECHO therefore reflects actuarial allocation, not a freshly adjudicated matter [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Federal Clean Air Act enforcement against natural gas infrastructure in the region intensified during the reporting period, providing essential context for reading that zero-violation record. On October 24, 2024, EPA, DOJ, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania finalized a Clean Air Act Stationary Source settlement with XTO Energy Inc. covering emission-capture failures at 11 oil and gas production facilities — a matter EPA has since cited as a template for subsequent stationary-source actions against upstream and midstream operators [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement]. A separate EPA Environmental Appeals Board Final Order in Docket No. CAA-2024-8453 (In re Double R Diesel, LLC), issued September 24, 2024, illustrates the EAB's continued use of consent agreements under 40 C.F.R. § 22.18(b)-(c) to close out Clean Air Act matters [source: https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-10/double-r-diesel-final-order-2024.09.24-1055_public.pdf]. Neither action names Double X Booster Station. Both nonetheless establish the enforcement backdrop against which the Jal compressor station's zero-violation, zero-inspection 24-month record should be assessed. The ECHO EJ index average for the site is reported as 0.0, consistent with the rural, low-density census geography approximately 30 miles west of Jal [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

ECHO records zero quarters of non-compliance for Double X Booster Station (FRS 110007014051) over the trailing 24 months. The $12,641,946.40 figure attributed to that window is a mechanical allocation of the five-year total ($31,604,866), derived using the formula penalty_24mo = total_5yr × (24/60) disclosed in the ECHO exporter methodology [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No discrete violation date, program designation within the 24-month window, or individualized penalty assessment is attached to the facility in the assembled research bundle. PollutionScan independently reports one formal Clean Air Act action against the site on a cumulative basis, zero total inspections, and zero violation quarters across the three-year compliance history grid, with 14,936 days recorded since the last evaluation [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm].

No Clean Water Act or RCRA program activity is reported for this facility. No consent decree, administrative order, or civil complaint naming Double X Booster Station appears in the Exa neural-search pull across PACER, CourtListener, or EPA enforcement pages. For comparative reference within the same enforcement vintage, the XTO Energy Clean Air Act Stationary Source Settlement was finalized October 24, 2024 and addressed 11 production facilities in Pennsylvania [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement]. The Double R Diesel Final Order under Docket CAA-2024-8453 was ratified September 24, 2024 by the Environmental Appeals Board [source: https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-10/double-r-diesel-final-order-2024.09.24-1055_public.pdf]. Neither matter implicates Double X Booster Station, but together they mark the active federal enforcement calendar against which the Jal facility's historical-only penalty record stands in contrast.

Double X Booster Station (Jal, NM; FRS 110007014051) is the sole facility associated with this operator in the ECHO export. It is classified under the Clean Air Act program as Active, sits on a site described as '30 MILES W OF JAL, JAL, NM 88252,' and carries a PollutionScan composite grade of C — a score of 73 out of 100, placing it ahead of approximately 40% of facilities in the aggregator's universe [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm]. The ECHO EJ index average is reported as 0.0, reflecting the rural Lea County census geography; no top pollutants are listed in the ECHO summary payload [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Spatial context matters here. PollutionScan identifies two nearby Lea County facilities with materially larger penalty footprints: Red Hills Gas Processing Plant, also in Jal, NM, carries $47,833,048 in cumulative penalties, and a second facility whose row is truncated in the source excerpt [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm]. Red Hills Gas Processing Plant's penalty total exceeds Double X Booster Station's five-year figure by more than $16 million, underscoring that the Jal corridor hosts compression and processing assets with a wide range of enforcement histories. Because the operator has only one reported facility, a top-5 ranking by EJ exposure or violation count collapses to this single entry. No additional facility-level detail is available in the research bundle.

The ECHO summary for FRS 110007014051 returns an empty top_pollutants array, and no TRI, NEI, or air-emissions inventory row is present in the assembled bundle [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That data gap does not eliminate the facility's regulatory exposure profile — it simply means the profile must be inferred from program classification and applicable rules. The facility's program designation is Clean Air Act Active per PollutionScan, consistent with a natural gas booster compressor station whose principal regulated emissions categories under 40 C.F.R. Part 60 Subpart OOOOa and successor rules are methane, volatile organic compounds, and combustion-derived NOx from reciprocating engines or turbines [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm].

The XTO Energy Clean Air Act settlement, finalized October 24, 2024, is the most recent federal precedent addressing analogous emission-capture failures at oil and gas production facilities. It frames the regulatory exposure profile for Permian-basin compression assets even where site-specific pollutant inventories are not published [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement]. Environmental justice implications at this specific site are constrained by an ECHO EJ index average of 0.0. The site is approximately 30 miles from the Jal city limits, and no nearby-population exposure pathway is quantified in the research bundle [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The NAICS 486210 peer benchmark pull returned zero rows in the research bundle, so a quantified peer comparison across violation_count_24mo, penalty_total_24mo, and ej_index_avg cannot be assembled from cited data. The nearest available spatial peers surfaced by PollutionScan are Lea County, NM facilities — among them Red Hills Gas Processing Plant in Jal, NM, which carries $47,833,048 in cumulative penalties, indicating that materially larger penalty footprints exist within a short radius of Double X Booster Station [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110007014051/double-x-booster-station-jal-nm]. The October 24, 2024 XTO Energy Clean Air Act settlement provides a federal enforcement benchmark for stationary-source actions against oil and gas infrastructure during the reporting period [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement].

No SEC 10-K Item 1A disclosure is available for Double X Booster Station. The operator is privately held, carries no CIK, and files no periodic reports with the Commission; the SEC 10-K and 10-Q payloads supplied in the research bundle are empty objects [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Forward-looking environmental risk for the asset must therefore be inferred from the federal enforcement posture applied to comparable NAICS 486210 operators. The most direct recent precedent is the October 24, 2024 XTO Energy Clean Air Act Stationary Source Settlement, which addressed emission-capture failures at 11 production facilities and has since been cited by EPA as a model for subsequent actions against upstream and midstream operators [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/2024-xto-energy-inc-clean-air-act-stationary-source-settlement]. A facility carrying a 14,936-day inspection gap and no active permits, operating in a region where Red Hills Gas Processing Plant has accumulated $47,833,048 in penalties, sits in an enforcement environment that has grown measurably more active since October 2024.
