Court Denies Bid to Delay Federal Air Rules
- Share via
A federal appeals court Tuesday denied a petition filed by the California Farm Bureau seeking to delay implementation of federal rules regulating agribusiness air pollution for the first time since the 1940s.
In an unpublished memorandum issued Tuesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the farmers’ attempt to seek a review of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s order to overhaul the state’s permitting process.
The state’s farmers have long been exempt from needing pollution permits and having to control fumes from fuel-powered irrigation pumps and methane gas from animal waste.
