NY-AG v. EPA

EPA's policy allegedly stops enforcing requirements under a wide range of federal environmental laws due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. According to NY-AG, the policy states that the EPA does not intend to take enforcement action against companies that violate provisions of environmental laws such as the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Safe Drinking Water Acts, provided that the companies link COVID-19 to their non-compliance.
