EPA Fights 'Re-Grandfathering' Ruling Limiting New Owners' NSR Liability

摘要

EPA is urging a federal appeals court to overturn a lower court's ruling finding new facility owners are not liable for prior owners' Clean Air Act new source review (NSR) permitting violations, warning it would set a major negative precedent allowing plants to be "re-grandfathered," effectively avoiding NSR requirements twice without penalty.
