California Sues EPA over Waiver Denial

California filed a Petition for Review today that asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn the EPA’s denial of California’s petition for a waiver under Section 209(b) of the Clean Air Act.  Because the EPA has not released a formal written order denying the petition, California’s initial filing does not articulate specific arguments as to why the EPA’s decision was in error.

California has been joined in the suit by at least 15 other states and several environmental groups.
