STATE COM N NO10 COMPRESSOR STATION

State Com N No10 Compressor Station is a single-site natural gas compression facility (EPA Facility Registry ID 110007013409) in New Mexico, classified under NAICS 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas). EPA ECHO data as of May 4, 2026 shows zero recorded quarters of noncompliance in the most recent 24-month window, zero active permits flagged in ECHO, and an allocated penalty total of $3,760,000 derived from the 5-year enforcement record prorated to 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No top-pollutant ranking and no environmental justice index value are populated for this facility in the ECHO exporter snapshot [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The operator is private. No CIK, 10-K, or 10-Q disclosures exist for direct comparison [source: https://www.greencompanydb.com/facilities/view/747323].

The $3.76M allocated penalty figure carries weight for a single compressor station. It also fits a broader New Mexico enforcement pattern across the Permian and San Juan basins, where the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Air Quality Bureau has pursued multi-facility Title V and minor-source settlements against midstream operators — most notably DCP Operating Company, LP and Cotton Draw Midstream, LLC [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf] [source: https://service.web.env.nm.gov/urls/msDGbikH]. That enforcement posture is not incidental; it reflects a sustained NMED commitment to revisiting air permits at compression sites where emissions modeling or recordkeeping gaps surface. Peer benchmarking within NAICS 486210 places State Com N No10 below the leading peer facility Double X Booster Station, whose 24-month allocated penalty total reaches $12,641,946 on the same derivation methodology [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Both figures are modeled allocations, not adjudicated fines — a distinction the analysis below develops in full.

ECHO's facility-level record for State Com N No10 Compressor Station reports one regulated site, zero quarters-with-noncompliance translating to a violation_count_24mo of 0, and zero ECHO-tracked active permits as of the May 4, 2026 export [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $3,760,000 penalty figure is not a single adjudicated fine. It is a proration — total_5yr × 24/60 — of the facility's five-year assessed-penalty history, per the ECHO exporter derivation notes, implying roughly $9.4M in cumulative 5-year assessed penalties at the facility-registry ID level [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Because no 10-K, 10-Q, or SEC filings exist for the operator, the full enforcement record must be reconstructed from NMED documents and federal register notices rather than securities disclosures.

The chronological record from mid-2024 through May 2026 is shaped more by regional regulatory posture than by facility-specific events. On September 10, 2021, NMED and DCP Operating Company entered a Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Final Compliance Order (Case Nos. AQB 20-46 and AQB 20-64) resolving alleged Air Quality Control Act and permit violations across DCP's New Mexico compressor fleet — a template since applied to other midstream operators in the basin [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf]. Cotton Draw Midstream, LLC entered a parallel Stipulated Final Compliance Order (EPCEB COT-Multi-2401) addressing alleged AQCA and permit violations at its Cotton Draw SASFCO site [source: https://service.web.env.nm.gov/urls/msDGbikH]. Then, on February 12, 2024, NMED's Hearing Officer Report on Targa Northern Delaware's Frac Cat Compressor Station (AQB 23-70) documented Title V reopening proceedings in Lea County. That report established that New Mexico continues to reopen and revise Title V permits at compressor stations where emissions modeling or recordkeeping gaps are identified [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. NMED's September 26, 2022 Statement of Basis for XTO Energy's Wildcat Compressor Station Title V permit (Nos. 7474M2 and P290) illustrates the permitting baseline for comparable facilities — 8,760 hours per year of operation with separation, condensate storage, and compression units all accounted for [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf].

For the 24-month window ending May 2026, no federal consent decree, Clean Air Act Section 113 order, or CourtListener docket naming State Com N No10 Compressor Station specifically surfaces in the research bundle. The March 9, 2026 Agreed Order between the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality and Southern Natural Gas Company LLC at the New Hebron compressor station confirms that state air agencies — not EPA Region 6 — remain the primary enforcement channel for stationary-source compressor violations across the sector [source: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/air-enforcement-mississippi-commission-4184975/]. April 13, 2026 Federal Register notices on the Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline Viola Project confirm that NEPA environmental assessments on compressor-linked infrastructure remain active at the federal level as well [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].

No facility-specific adjudicated enforcement action naming State Com N No10 Compressor Station appears in the research bundle for the 24-month window. The $3,760,000 figure in ECHO is a modeled allocation: penalty_24mo = total_5yr × (24/60), meaning $9.4M in cumulative 5-year assessed penalties is implied at the facility-registry ID level [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Readers should treat this as an administrative proration rather than a discrete settlement.

Contextually comparable NMED actions in the same sector and period tell the story more concretely. First: NMED v. DCP Operating Company, LP, Case Nos. AQB 20-46 (CO) and AQB 20-64 (CO), Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Final Compliance Order dated September 10, 2021, resolving alleged Air Quality Control Act, regulatory, and Title V permit violations across DCP's New Mexico compressor fleet [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf]. Second: NMED v. Cotton Draw Midstream, LLC, Case No. EPCEB COT-Multi-2401, Stipulated Final Compliance Order resolving alleged AQCA and permit violations at the Cotton Draw SASFCO facility [source: https://service.web.env.nm.gov/urls/msDGbikH]. Third: In the Matter of Targa Northern Delaware, LLC, Frac Cat Compressor Station, AQB 23-70 (P), Hearing Officer Report dated February 12, 2024, addressing a reopened and revised Title V air quality permit in Lea County, New Mexico [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. The March 9, 2026 Mississippi Agreed Order against Southern Natural Gas Company LLC's New Hebron compressor station addresses an alleged air violation under state AQCA authority and is included for cross-jurisdictional reference [source: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/air-enforcement-mississippi-commission-4184975/].

Program categorization for the sector runs as follows. The primary regulatory framework is the Clean Air Act — Title V operating permits, NSPS Subparts OOOO and OOOOa for compressor-station fugitive emissions, and minor-source construction permits. Secondary exposure falls under RCRA for used oil and condensate handling. CWA exposure is limited given the facility type and the absence of process wastewater discharge points typical of this NAICS classification.

State Com N No10 Compressor Station (EPA FRS ID 110007013409), New Mexico — single facility tied to this entity. ECHO reports zero 24-month violations, zero ECHO-tracked active permits, a null EJ index, and a $3.76M prorated 5-year penalty allocation [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No sustainability report is published at the facility level; a third-party aggregator carries the compliance profile [source: https://www.greencompanydb.com/facilities/view/747323].

Double X Booster Station (NAICS 486210 peer) — the top peer by allocated 24-month penalty in the benchmark set, at $12,641,946 on the same ECHO derivation methodology, with zero recorded quarters of noncompliance and zero tracked active permits [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The high allocated-penalty figure against a zero-violation count reflects legacy 5-year settlement inclusion in the exporter's penalty column. That combination — clean current-period record, elevated historical allocation — mirrors the pattern at State Com N No10 and points to the same methodological dynamic rather than any divergence in recent operational conduct.

Frac Cat Compressor Station (Targa Northern Delaware, LLC), Lea County, New Mexico — permitted to operate 8,760 hours per year, approximately 24.3 miles southeast of Loving, NM; subject to NMED Title V reopening proceedings under AQB 23-70 with a Hearing Officer Report issued 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]. Included as a same-state, same-sector comparator, the Frac Cat proceeding is the clearest recent example of NMED exercising its Title V reopening authority against a New Mexico compression site.

Wildcat Compressor Station (XTO Energy Inc), New Mexico — Title V Permit Nos. 7474M2 and P290, subject to a new Title V issuance per NMED Statement of Basis dated September 26, 2022; the facility separates oil, natural gas, and water from an adjacent pipeline, stores condensate onsite, and compresses dehydrated gas [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf]. This establishes the permitted-emissions baseline for comparable New Mexico compressor sites.

Cotton Draw SASFCO (Cotton Draw Midstream, LLC), New Mexico — subject to NMED Stipulated Final Compliance Order EPCEB COT-Multi-2401 resolving alleged AQCA and permit violations [source: https://service.web.env.nm.gov/urls/msDGbikH]. The Cotton Draw order demonstrates the multi-site settlement template NMED now applies across the Permian midstream footprint, making it a direct structural predecessor to any future action involving similarly situated facilities.

ECHO's top-pollutants array for State Com N No10 Compressor Station is empty in the current exporter snapshot [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That null does not mean the facility emits nothing. For natural gas compressor stations in NAICS 486210, the regulated pollutant profile — confirmed by NMED's Statement of Basis for XTO Energy's Wildcat Compressor Station — centers on three categories.

First: nitrogen oxides (NOx). These form in natural-gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engines and turbines driving compression, regulated under NSPS Subpart JJJJ and NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ. NOx is a precursor to ground-level ozone and fine particulate formation, with inhalation exposure linked to respiratory morbidity [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf]. Second: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) — specifically benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes — released from condensate storage tanks, dehydrator vents, and pneumatic controllers. BTEX exposure pathways are primarily inhalation of fugitive emissions at the fence line, addressed in the NMED permitting record for comparable New Mexico compressor facilities [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2022/09/PROPOSED-9.26.2022-Statement-of-Basis-P290.pdf]. Third: methane, regulated under NSPS Subparts OOOOa and OOOOb. The Kinder Morgan / Stagecoach Pipeline & Storage Company GHG Report dated October 7, 2025 characterizes methane as the principal climate-relevant emission from compression and storage operations [source: https://pipeline2.kindermorgan.com/Documents/PDFView.aspx?code=STAG&fname=SPSC_2025_GHG_Report_Public_Version_with_NDA_10-7-2025-20251007130148.pdf].

Environmental justice implications in New Mexico's San Juan and Permian basins center on Tribal and rural Hispanic communities near compression corridors. The NMED Targa Frac Cat hearing record explicitly invokes permit conditions "necessary to protect human health and welfare and the environment" as the basis for Title V reopening — language that applies equally to any similarly situated facility in the region [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. The facility-level EJ index of 0.0 in ECHO reflects a null value rather than a confirmed low-exposure reading [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Within NAICS 486210, State Com N No10 Compressor Station's allocated 24-month penalty of $3,760,000 ranks below the single peer surfaced in the benchmark — Double X Booster Station at $12,641,946 on the identical ECHO derivation [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Both facilities report zero quarters of noncompliance over the 24-month window and zero active ECHO-tracked permits, which means the penalty-total differential is driven entirely by the 5-year historical settlement column rather than current-period violations [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Neither facility has a populated EJ index or top-pollutant list in the exporter, limiting further quantitative peer discrimination.

No SEC 10-K, 10-Q, or registration statement is available for the operator of State Com N No10 Compressor Station; the entity is private and carries no CIK [source: https://www.greencompanydb.com/facilities/view/747323]. Forward-looking environmental risk for the facility must therefore be inferred from state-permitting language and sector filings. The NMED Hearing Officer Report for Targa Northern Delaware's Frac Cat Compressor Station, issued February 12, 2024, identifies Title V reopening and revision as the principal forward regulatory mechanism for New Mexico compressor sites. Conditions are imposed "to protect human health and welfare and the environment" — a standard that applies equally to similarly permitted facilities in the San Juan and Permian basins [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/02/2024-02-12-AQB-23-70-Hearing-Officer-Report.pdf]. That standard is not static. NMED has demonstrated willingness to reopen permits where emissions modeling gaps emerge, as the Frac Cat proceeding shows, and the DCP and Cotton Draw settlements confirm that multi-facility sweeps remain an active tool. The Kinder Morgan / Stagecoach 2025 GHG Report explicitly disclaims guaranteed efficacy of sector compliance programs, flagging that forward statements on emissions management are subject to operational and regulatory variability [source: https://pipeline2.kindermorgan.com/Documents/PDFView.aspx?code=STAG&fname=SPSC_2025_GHG_Report_Public_Version_with_NDA_10-7-2025-20251007130148.pdf].
