Supreme Court of the United States

Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA

June 23, 2014134 S. Ct. 2427

Summary

The Court held that the EPA lacks authority to require PSD or Title V permits for stationary sources solely on the basis of potential greenhouse‑gas emissions, but it may require best‑available‑control‑technology (BACT) for greenhouse gases from sources already subject to permitting because of conventional pollutants. The decision affirms part of the D.C. Circuit and reverses part.
