    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice about a decision regarding the Sundance Power Plant in Arizona. On November 6, 2024, the EPA's Administrator denied a petition from the Sierra Club that asked the EPA to oppose a Clean Air Act permit for the power plant issued by the local air quality authority in Pinal County. The Sierra Club's request was related to an operating permit for Arizona Public Service Company's Sundance Power Plant. If Sierra Club disagrees with the EPA's decision, they can seek judicial review with the U.S. Court of Appeals by February 4, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA decided not to block a special permission for a power plant in Arizona, even though a group called the Sierra Club asked them to. If Sierra Club doesn't like this decision, they have until February 2025 to try and get a court to change it.
