View
Two nonprofit groups filed a Clean Air Act citizen suit against companies seeking permits to construct and operate a coal-fired power plant in Texas. The groups' claims for relief included alleged violations of best available control technology requirements based on failures to consider impacts associated with carbon dioxide emissions; alleged failures to provide information regarding carbon dioxide in analyses of ambient air quality; and failures to determine whether increases in carbon dioxide emissions would cause violations of applicable standards.
