EPA Enters into Settlement with Wyoming, Other States

In a settlement with conservation groups, the EPA's going to sign off next year on plans to deal with haze in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and North Dakota. A judge still has to approve the deal. Environmental groups claimed the EPA violated the clean air act when it missed deadlines to approve the states' plans for addressing air pollution or to develop federal plans for them. WildEarth Guardians says the states' proposals would retire or retrofit at least 18 coal-fired power plants.
