Judge Extends EPA's Perchlorate Standard Proposal Deadline To April

摘要

A federal judge has signed off on EPA's request for an additional six months - until April 2019 - to propose a drinking water standard for the rocket fuel ingredient perchlorate, the first such standard the agency will propose since Congress amended the drinking water law in 1996. "A six-month extension is suitably tailored to the delays that EPA has experienced. The Court expects that the EPA will work diligently to meet its revised deadline," Judge Edgardo Ramos of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York writes in his Dec. 10 order extending EPA's deadline to April 30, 2019. The order is available on InsideEPA.com. (Doc. ID: 217619)
