EPA Overdue on Air Toxics Reviews, Complaint Says in Seeking Court Deadlines

摘要

Environmental groups filed a lawsuit seeking court-ordered deadlines for the Environmental Protection Agency to review air toxics standards for various industries, including semiconductor manufacturing and municipal solid waste landfills, which allegedly are overdue for a potential update (Cal. Cmtys. Against Toxics v. McCarthy, D.D.C., No. l:15-cv-512, 4/8/15). The groups listed 21 source categories for which the EPA allegedly missed deadlines outlined under the Clean Air Act for reviewing standards for emissions of hazardous air pollutants, according to a complaint filed April 8 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
