EPA Urges Supreme Court To Reject Review Of Post-Permit Mine Veto

摘要

EPA is urging the Supreme Court to reject a request from a coal mining company to review the landmark appellate ruling upholding the agency's right to veto projects permitted by the Army Corps of Engineers "whenever" the agency finds harm, arguing that the infrequent use of the Clean Water Act (CWA) veto power, lack of a circuit split and a pending lower court decision show the issue is premature.
