"Court Rejects Kansas Appeal In EPA Air Pollution Case"

"A federal court has rejected Kansas’ challenge of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) disapproval of an air pollution plan from the state.

Kansas filed the case in 2011 after the EPA decided Kansas did not go far enough in ensuring that its air pollution did not blow to neighboring states as part of the agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.

The EPA had rejected Kansas’ state implementation plan for the so-called “good neighbor” rule, which requires that states account for cross-state winds when deciding how to comply with federal air rules."
