Industry Calls Incinerator Rule Unachievable; Environmental Groups Seek Stronger Limits

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency's emissions standards for toxic pollutants from industrial incinerators can't be achieved by existing units, industry groups told a federal appeals court (Am. Forest & Paper Ass'n v. EPA, D.C. Cir., No. 11-1125, brie/is filed 10/2/14). Meanwhile, environmental groups argued that the EPA's rule is illegal because the agency failed to pursue more stringent emissions limits as required by the Clean Air Act.
