NY-AG v. EPA

EPA's non-enforcement policy, according to NY-AG, has effectively waived industry compliance with pollution monitoring and reporting requirements. The policy appears overly broad, lacking transparency and accountability, and may result in higher pollution emissions by industry and corresponding impacts on public health and the environment. The EPA allegedly failed to consider the potential impacts that increased pollution from industry’s noncompliance could have on the public, generally, and on minority and low-income communities, specifically.
