D.C. Circuit Panel Says It Is Not Forum For Power Plant Permit Challenge

Mealey's (June 19, 2019, 10:40 AM EDT) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — A District of Columbia Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on June 14 dismissed the Sierra Club’s petition to review a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decision rejecting the group’s challenge to a permit issued under Title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to a Utah power plant, finding that it was not a proper venue for the group’s appeal because the decision did not have a nationwide impact (Sierra Club v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, et al., No. 18-1038, U.S. App., D.C. Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 17895)....
