Taking Coal Ash Out Of Green Buildings

A government watchdog group that is lobbying EPA to set standards for products containing coal combustion residue (CCR) is broadening its effort, asking the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which certifies construction projects, to stop allowing products made with coal combustion wastes to receive recycled material credits when seeking certification, arguing the waste is toxic and can be harmful to human health. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) -- which last year urged EPA to strengthen its proposed rule regulating...

Chesapeake Bay Lawsuit Marks New Test For EPA's TMDL Power

The American Farm Bureau Federation's (AFBF) legal challenge of EPA's novel, multistate pollution load limit for the Chesapeake Bay watershed could provide a new test of the agency's authority to set pollution limits among different sources and to dictate state actions in cleaning up waterbodies. In its Jan. 10 lawsuit , AFBF, et al. v. EPA , the farm industry group charges the recently finalized Bay total maximum daily load (TMDL) for nutrients and sediment is "fatally flawed" because the...

Industry Asks EPA To Redo Strict Risk Studies For Several Key Chemicals

Industry groups are urging EPA to redo risk assessments for several controversial chemicals -- including the flame retardant decabrominated diphenyl ether (deca) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) -- that industry says are too strict, offering new data that they believe should prompt the agency to weaken its various risk studies. State environmental regulators and environmentalists meanwhile are asking EPA to undertake new risk assessments of some chemicals whose risks are unknown, including amphibole mineral fibers similar to asbestos. EPA's risk assessments...

API Renews Push To Stall GHG Reports

The American Petroleum Institute (API) is planning to send a second request to EPA that it defer a March 31 deadline for industry to submit initial mandatory reports on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for 2010 releases after the agency denied the group's earlier request for a delay, a source with the group says. API will renew its push for a delay over concerns that EPA has not yet rolled out its electronic greenhouse gas reporting tool (e-GGRT), critical for...
