EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) Vacated by D.C. Circuit Court |
July 18, 2008
Previously published on July 2008
On July 11, 2008, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the Clean Air Interstate Rule, or "CAIR," in its decision in North Carolina v. EPA. Promulgated by EPA in 2005, CAIR
would have permanently capped emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides
(NOX) from power plants across 28 eastern states and the District of Columbia. Because the
court struck down CAIR in its entirety, it would be years before the EPA develops and
implements a replacement program, if it ever does.
