meanwhile in other news: Supreme Court won’t hear EPA air pollution case
The Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a case on how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforces air pollution rules.
In the case, Ohio v. Sierra Club, Ohio maintains that a state does not need to submit a plan to reduce pollution levels after being found to violate the maximum level under EPA rules if the concentration drops to an acceptable level before it submits its plan. The EPA agrees with Ohios interpretation.
Its a major win for the Sierra Club, since the Supreme Courts action lets stand the 2015 ruling from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
That court sided with the Sierra Clubs argument that under the Clean Air Acts provisions regarding reasonably available control measures, the EPA ought to have demanded a pollution control plan from Ohio before it declared that the state complied with the pollution rules.
