CleanAirAct. This law, signed on the first day of 1970, requires agencies to disclose the environmental effects of their actions. This marked the beginning of a decade of legislative environmental legislation. NEPA remains the workhorse of natural resource litigation today.
We also found that co-located sterilization facilities, facilities in communities with higher cancer risks, and facilities that have violated the CleanAirAct are disproportionately near people of color, illustrating the vast disparities of who this pollutant impacts most.

From 1960 to 2005, coal use grew more or less steadily by 18 million tons per year. The passage of the 1970 CleanAirAct and its major 1990 Amendments don’t show up at all in a graph of coal use. Coal began to really plunge in 2012, three years before Obama’s Clean Power Plan was issued.
EPA did not revoke EPA’s underlying authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the CleanAirAct. First and foremost, despite some fossil fuel interests swinging for the fossil fuel-favored fences, the Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. And here, the Court has struck a devastating blow.
In 2005, the last time EPA updated emissions standards for commercial sterilizers, the agency contemplated banning the use of EtO for sterilization at new facilities, but that proposal was promptly scrapped due to concerns around viable sterilization alternatives.
Once Congress passes protective laws like the CleanAirAct, agencies have generally had deference to implement those laws based on the latest scientific evidence of harms caused by pollutants and options to limit those harms. With this decision, the Court has instead hamstrung that authority.
AGREES TO PAY OVER $1 MILLION FOR CLEANAIRACT VIOLATION Department of Justice PaulaR Mon, 08/28/2023 - 12:50 Saturday, June 25, 2005 Read more WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced a CleanAirAct settlement with Volkswagen of America, Inc.
These air quality impacts are minimal compared with the major ozone reductions resulting from the 1998 SIP Call, which resulted in more than 80,000 megawatts of coal capacity being retrofitted with SCRs. The 2005CleanAir Interstate Rule (CAIR) provided smaller but significant air quality improvements following its implementation in 2010.
The Program became effective May 11, 2002, and provided the necessary 2 year lead time to manufacturers as required under the federal CleanAirAct. The Program's emission standards first applied to MY 2005 HDD vehicles and engines.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit addressed (1) whether California’s state nuisance law presented a federal question, and (2) whether the claims were completely preempted by the CleanAirAct. 308, 314 (2005)). Minton , 568 U.S. 251, 258 (2013) (citing Grable & Sons Metal Products, Inc. Regions Bank of La.,
is a shift for this historically CleanAirAct-friendly Court. EPA) is one for the CleanAirAct (CAA) record books. Since the CleanAirAct was enacted in 1970, EPA has been directed to regulate the emission of toxic chemicals by coal and oil fired power plants but had neglected to do so.

Mexican shopkeeper defeats Coke BBC | November 17, 2005 A small shopkeeper in Mexico City has won a David versus Goliath legal battle against the US drinks firm, Coca-Cola. When Coca-Cola's Mexican subsidiary told Raquel Chavez to get rid of a rival cola product or else they might stop selling her Coke, she took action.

A decade later, in 2005, the agency contemplated banning new commercial sterilizers from using the gas, forcing them to use alternatives. The CleanAirAct requires the EPA to review—and update—its ethylene oxide emissions standards every eight years, but the last time it did so was in 2006.
For instance, while Hurricane Katrina took 1,400 lives in the US in 2005, Cyclone Nargis in the Bay of Bengal made landfall in Myanmar in 2008 and killed 140,000 people—100 times more people than Katrina. People perishing by heat or smoke one by one in the privacy of their homes or in the sterility of hospitals is relatively invisible.
When fully implemented, the Clean Power Plan was intended to cut carbon emissions 30% below the 2005 level by 2030. Yet the Supreme Court is now set to address numerous challenges to this zombie regulation. It’s time to put the CPP to rest. Compliance was set to begin in 2022, ramping up toward 2030 emission reduction goals.
In another example, in its regulatory impact analysis of the recent CleanAirAct rule establishing CO2 performance standards for electric generating units, EPA projects that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will lead to reductions in power sector emissions of 80% below 2005 levels by 2040.

Several workers have also been injured and others killed in explosions at the Point Comfort plant in 2005 and at a PVC plant in Illiopolis , Illinois in 2004. PVC plants operated by Formosa in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in Point Comfort, Texas, have also been subject to numerous protests over pollution and elevated cancer rates.

EPA as a decision depriving EPA of an important tool to address climate change under the CleanAirAct. First Court did not eliminate the Agency’s ability to require greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reductions under section 111 or any other section of the CleanAirAct. Posted on July 5, 2022 by Robert B.
The agency estimates that in 2030, the proposal would reduce methane from covered sources by 87 percent below 2005 levels. Oil and natural gas operations are also significant sources of other health-harming air pollutants, including smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic air pollutants such as benzene.
