Challenge to Particulate Matter Implementation Rule

In Brief:

The EPA has adopted a rule that undermines the Clean Air Act requirements for individual state plans to meet national health-based standards limiting the concentration of fine particulate matter in the air. This rule would provide sweeping exemptions for power plants and major agricultural sources of fine particle pollution.

Earthjustice is challenging this rule on behalf of community health organizations, conservationists, and local groups.
