Trial to Inside EPA

A starkly divided 5th Circuit has upheld a landmark civil penalty imposed on oil giant ExxonMobil for Clean Air Act (CAA) violations, in a profoundly divided opinion that otherwise fails to resolve key questions over citizens’ standing to sue, amid a dispute over whether the court should even have heard the long-running case again.

The Supreme Court is denying a Kentucky power co-op’s bid to stay EPA’s final rule governing legacy coal combustion residual (CCR) surface impoundments and CCR management units (CCRMU), clearing the way for the measure’s implementation as utilities and others continue their challenge.

From Inside TSCA

EPA has issued a final TSCA risk management rule for the solvent carbon tetrachloride (CTC) that sets strict new worker-protection requirements for many applications of the chemical while allowing industry to continue most if not all of those current uses, while extending key compliance deadlines from what it proposed last year.

EPA has issued its first-time final rule aimed at streamlining and clarifying the procedures for states and authorized tribes to assume and administer the Clean Water Act (CWA) section 404 dredge-and-fill permitting program, though the measure faces an uphill battle given a likely effort from the incoming Trump administration to roll it back.

From Climate Extra

Auto manufacturers are stepping up their attacks on California’s latest round of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate rules that have been adopted by 11 other “section 177” states, signaling that industry will be pressing courts and the incoming Trump administration to defeat EPA’s imminent expected approval of a preemption waiver for the rules.
