STATE COM L NO8 COMPRESSOR STATION

STATE COM L NO8 COMPRESSOR STATION is a natural gas compression asset tied to two EPA-registered facilities (ECHO IDs 110056430250 and 110022693012) associated with a Cedar Hill, New Mexico operating address under NAICS 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction). The ECHO exporter snapshot dated 2026-05-04 records zero quarters of non-compliance across the trailing 24 months. It simultaneously attributes $3.76 million in derived penalty exposure apportioned from a five-year total, with no active permits reflected in the current pull [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That combination — clean recent quarters, non-zero historical penalty residual, no active federal permits on file — tells a specific story. The asset is privately held. No CIK, 10-K, or 10-Q filings exist for direct review, which closes off the cross-reference against investor-facing risk language that publicly traded midstream peers routinely publish.

The facility sits inside the San Juan Basin compressor cluster. That geography matters. NMED Air Quality Bureau actions against peer compressor and gas-processing operators have been active in the region, including the DCP Operating Company Stipulated Final Compliance Order (NMED AQB 20-46/20-64) [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf] and the Targa Northern Delaware Frac Cat Compressor Station Title V reopening proceeding (NMED AQB 23-70) [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. Within its NAICS 211130/211120 peer set, STATE COM L NO8 ranks below Greka Bell Compressor Plant ($26.16M), Red Hills Gas Processing Plant ($19.13M), and Azalea Battery ($16.13M) on trailing 24-month derived penalty totals [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The absence of quarters-in-non-compliance paired with a non-zero penalty derivation points to historical enforcement resolved before the 24-month window opened, with residuals apportioned forward under the ECHO exporter methodology.

ECHO exporter data shows STATE COM L NO8 with a violation_count_24mo of 0 and a penalty_total_24mo of $3,760,000, derived as total_5yr × (24/60) per the documented methodology, against two facility IDs [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The zero-quarter non-compliance count across CWA, CAA, and RCRA programs means no formal quarterly NC flags were recorded in the trailing eight quarters. The penalty residue therefore reflects older resolved matters apportioned forward, not new 2024–2026 enforcement. No active Title V, NPDES, or RCRA permits appear as currently active in the exporter snapshot. For a compressor station in New Mexico, those permits would typically be administered at the state level under NMED AQB authority rather than through federally delegated direct EPA oversight.

Chronologically, the 24-month window spans approximately May 2024 through May 2026. No federal enforcement docket entries specific to the STATE COM L NO8 name surfaced during that period. Regional context fills the gap. NMED AQB has maintained an active docket against San Juan and Permian Basin compressor and processing operators. The DCP Operating Company Stipulated Final Compliance Order, signed September 10, 2021, resolved alleged air quality statutory and regulatory exceedances [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf]. The Targa Northern Delaware Frac Cat Compressor Station Title V reopening produced a Hearing Officer Report dated February 12, 2024 [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. The XTO Energy Wildcat Compressor Station Title V Statement of Basis, dated September 26, 2022, shows the standard NMED permit architecture applied to similarly situated San Juan and Permian compressor assets [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf]. These three proceedings define the regulatory environment in which STATE COM L NO8 operates, even though none names it directly.

Sector-wide, the trailing 24 months have seen continued FERC and EPA review of new compression infrastructure. The Federal Register notice for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline's Viola Project environmental assessment, published April 13, 2026, documents the NEPA schedule applicable to new compression builds [source: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/13/2026-07122/southern-star-central-gas-pipeline-inc-notice-of-schedule-for-the-preparation-of-an-environmental]. The Mountain Valley Pipeline Montgomery County compressor station advanced toward construction in late 2025 and into 2026 [source: https://cardinalnews.org/2025/12/19/then-now-mountain-valley-pipeline-moves-ahead-with-montgomery-county-compressor-station/] [source: https://roanoke.com/news/local/business/development/article_ca4834df-6e2a-47f3-972c-97ecd5676d85.html]. Neither project connects to STATE COM L NO8 by name. They establish the regulatory backdrop against which NMED-permitted San Juan compressor assets operate. For STATE COM L NO8 specifically, the ECHO snapshot combination — no active permits listed, no 24-month NC quarters, non-zero apportioned penalty — is most consistent with a mature, state-permitted facility whose federal enforcement footprint has quieted in the current window.

No discrete federal enforcement action against STATE COM L NO8 COMPRESSOR STATION (ECHO IDs 110056430250, 110022693012) appears as a 24-month quarter-in-non-compliance event in the ECHO exporter snapshot dated 2026-05-04 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $3.76 million penalty_total_24mo is a mathematical derivation — total_5yr × (24/60) — meaning the underlying penalty was assessed at some point in the preceding five-year window and pro-rated. It is not a fresh 2024–2026 assessment. The exporter file does not decompose that residual by CWA, CAA, or RCRA program in the fields supplied, nor does it name a counterparty case number. Researchers seeking the underlying docket should consult the ECHO facility detail pages for the two registry IDs above and cross-reference with NMED AQB enforcement indices.

No CourtListener or PACER record surfacing the STATE COM L NO8 name appeared in the research bundle. The CourtListener RECAP document referenced — United States v. Kerr-McGee Corporation, D. Colo. 07-CV-01034 — concerns a different operator and a Frederick, Colorado compressor station. It is not attributable to this asset [source: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cod.102241/gov.uscourts.cod.102241.63.0.pdf]. Within the 24-month window, no CWA NPDES discharge monitoring report exceedances, no CAA Title V deviations, and no RCRA hazardous waste generator violations are flagged by ECHO for either registry ID. The record is clean for the current period. What remains unresolved is the identity of the older enforcement matter that generated the five-year penalty total from which the $3.76 million figure is derived.

ECHO registry ID 110056430250 is one of two facility IDs tied to STATE COM L NO8 COMPRESSOR STATION in the exporter file. Its EJ index average is reported as 0.0 in the snapshot. In ECHO convention, that figure typically indicates EJScreen demographic overlays were not computed or returned null for the registry coordinates — not a true zero-risk reading [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No top_pollutants array is populated, meaning neither TRI nor NEI totals were joined to this registry record in the current pull.

ECHO registry ID 110022693012 is the second linked facility ID. It reports no active permits, no 24-month NC quarters, and a null EJ index in the exporter snapshot [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Analysts should treat the 0.0 EJ figure as data-absence rather than a substantive finding. San Juan Basin compressor stations in San Juan and Rio Arriba counties commonly sit near rural and tribal-adjacent populations that EJScreen would typically flag on PM2.5 and ozone indicators when coordinates resolve correctly. The null return here is a data-quality artifact, not a clean bill of health.

The research bundle does not supply a third, fourth, or fifth affiliated facility under the STATE COM L NO8 name. Peer-facility context for San Juan and Permian compressor assets comes from NMED dockets against Targa Northern Delaware's Frac Cat Compressor Station in Lea County [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf] and XTO Energy's Wildcat Compressor Station Title V record [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf]. Those proceedings document the Title V-regulated emission unit architecture — compressor engines, dehydrators, condensate tanks — applicable to STATE COM L NO8's asset class. The NMED Mountainair four-factor analysis from October 2019 further illustrates the reasonable-progress analytical framework applied to regional haze at similar sources [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/AI_1569_11203587-RPT-Mountainair_Four-Factor_FINAL.pdf].

The ECHO exporter returns no top_pollutants array for STATE COM L NO8 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That absence does not mean the facility emits nothing. For a NAICS 211130 natural gas compressor station in the San Juan Basin, the pollutants ordinarily reported by peer facilities through NEI and Title V permit limits are nitrogen oxides (NOx) from reciprocating internal combustion engines and turbines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from fugitive leaks and dehydrator venting, and formaldehyde as a hazardous air pollutant from lean-burn engine exhaust. The EPA order on the Anadarko/Kerr-McGee Frederick Compressor Station Title V petition documents this exact pollutant profile for a structurally comparable asset and records EPA's response to petitioner challenges on CAA Section 505(b)(2) grounds [source: https://19january2021snapshot.epa.gov/sites/static/files/2015-08/documents/anadarko_response2008.pdf].

The toxicity profile of these emissions is well established. NOx contributes to ground-level ozone formation and to secondary PM2.5, with documented respiratory morbidity pathways. VOCs include benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) as well as n-hexane. Benzene is classified as a known human carcinogen. Formaldehyde carries the same classification and is a signature lean-burn engine HAP. Exposure pathways for nearby residents are primarily inhalation of the ambient plume and secondary formation products downwind of the stack.

The environmental justice dimension sharpens when geography is considered. NMED's Frac Cat Hearing Officer Report records the Department's position that permit conditions are necessary to protect human health and welfare and the environment for populations within the facility's impact radius [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. For San Juan Basin compression near Cedar Hill, the adjacent demographic profile includes Navajo Nation and Jicarilla Apache Nation communities whose exposure is not captured when EJScreen indices return null. The Mountainair four-factor analysis demonstrates the reasonable-progress methodology applied to NOx control evaluations at regional sources [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/AI_1569_11203587-RPT-Mountainair_Four-Factor_FINAL.pdf]. That methodology is directly relevant to any future NMED review of emission controls at Cedar Hill-area compressor assets.

Within its NAICS 211130/211120 peer set, STATE COM L NO8's $3.76M 24-month derived penalty sits well below Greka Bell Compressor Plant ($26.16M, 0 NC quarters), Red Hills Gas Processing Plant ($19.13M, 8 NC quarters), and Azalea Battery ($16.13M, 8 NC quarters) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The divergence between Greka Bell — zero NC quarters but the highest penalty total in the group — and Red Hills and Azalea, each carrying eight NC quarters, illustrates that ECHO's 24-month penalty derivation and quarterly NC flag capture different enforcement dynamics. One metric reflects historical apportioned assessments; the other reflects current quarterly non-compliance posture. STATE COM L NO8 is favorably positioned on both metrics relative to this peer triad, though the comparison is bounded by the same data limitations that affect all four facilities: null EJ indices and no populated top_pollutants arrays.

No SEC 10-K Item 1A or Item 7 MD&A disclosure exists for STATE COM L NO8 COMPRESSOR STATION. The entity is privately held with no CIK on file. Forward-looking environmental risk drawn from public-peer filings is therefore not directly attributable to this asset. Sector context is available. The Federal Register notice of April 13, 2026 establishing the environmental assessment schedule for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline's Viola Project documents the FERC NEPA timeline applicable to new compression infrastructure [source: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/13/2026-07122/southern-star-central-gas-pipeline-inc-notice-of-schedule-for-the-preparation-of-an-environmental]. The Stagecoach Pipeline & Storage Company 2025 GHG Report's cautionary statement illustrates the standard forward-looking-risk language midstream operators use to frame GHG and sustainability disclosures [source: https://pipeline2.kindermorgan.com/Documents/PDFView.aspx?code=STAG&fname=SPSC_2025_GHG_Report_Public_Version_with_NDA_10-7-2025-20251007130148.pdf]. For STATE COM L NO8, the most material forward risk is regulatory: NMED AQB has demonstrated willingness to reopen Title V permits and pursue stipulated compliance orders against San Juan Basin compressor operators, and the facility's privately held status means that risk is not priced or disclosed in any public market instrument.
