Steven Burr, a partner at Lewis and Roca, successfully argued an appeal before the United States D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals last December, which resulted in a recent decision in favor of the group of petitioners he represented, as well as numerous other state and industry petitioners. The court overturned three controversial air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The portion of the appeal handled by Mr. Burr, challenged EPA's 1997 adoption of new national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter larger than 10 microns in size, known as "PM10." The D.C. Circuit held that EPA acted arbitrarily in choosing PM10 as the standard to regulate so-called "coarse" particulate matter, which consists primarily of the dust generated by activities such as mining, construction and agriculture. The decision vacated the new PM10 standard and will force EPA to rethink its approach to regulating coarse particulate matter.
At the request of other petitioners, the D.C. Circuit also overturned EPA's decision to adopt ambient standards for "fine" particulate matter and ozone. The D.C. Circuit found EPA's interpretation of the Federal Clean Air Act in setting all three national ambient air quality standards unconstitutional and found the ozone standard unenforceable.
