Supreme Court Issues Landmark Clean Air Act Ruling, R= evives Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

We are pleased to present the latest edition = of the Energy, Environmental and Utilities Alert, titled "Supreme C= ourt Issues Landmark Clean Air Act Ruling, Revives Cross-State Air Poll= ution Rule" by Peter J. Fontaine, Joshua L. Belcher and Mark Lazaroff. We hope you f= ind this information beneficial and informative.

On April 29, 2014, in a very significant 6-2 = decision, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed EPA’s Cross-State Air P= ollution Rule (CSAPR or the Rule), overturning a 2012 D.C. Circuit Cour= t of Appeals decision invalidating the Rule. The decision in EPA v.= EME Homer City Generation, L.P. is a major victory for downwind s= tates adversely impacted by power plant emissions originating in upwind= states. For example, a substantial portion of air pollution in New Jer= sey comes from major emitting facilities in upwind states.

As a general matter, EPA sets National Ambien= t Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to protec= t health and welfare. Within three years of establishing new NAAQS, eac= h state must file a State Implementation Plan (SIP) setting forth how i= t will achieve the NAAQS. If EPA determines that any SIP does not fully= comply with the CAA, it may promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (= FIP) to supplant the non-compliant SIP. Section 110(a)(2) CAA also requ= ires states to prohibit the emission of air pollutants in amounts that = will interfere with another state’s ability to attain the NAAQS. = This provision, known as the “Good Neighbor Provision,” is = the source of EPA’s authority for the CSAPR.
