The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made a decision regarding a petition related to the Northampton Generating Co., LP in Pennsylvania. The EPA's decision, dated July 15, 2020, partially granted and partially denied the petition, which was submitted by the Sierra Club and the Clean Air Council. The petition objected to a state operating permit that was previously issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environment Protection. The decision is considered final action from the EPA, but parts of it may be reviewed in court if the petitioners choose to pursue further legal action within 60 days of the notice.
Simple Explanation
The EPA looked at a complaint about a power plant in Pennsylvania and decided to agree with some parts and disagree with others. This decision can be challenged in court if the people who complained want to take it further within a couple of months.
