    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced final decisions on petitions challenging state operating permits for two power plants. The EPA Administrator denied petitions from the Sierra Club to object to the Clean Air Act title V operating permits for the Hunter Power Plant in Utah, and from Casey and Julie Voigt regarding the Coyote Station Power Plant in North Dakota. These decisions mean the EPA did not find enough reason to object to the permits despite claims about inadequate pollution controls and lack of compliance with federal standards. The EPA detailed its reasoning for these denials and directed a review of the Hunter Power Plant's 2020 permit.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA looked into complaints about pollution rules at two power plants in Utah and North Dakota, but decided not to change the permits because they didn't find enough problems with the plants' pollution controls.
