Supreme Court of California
American Coatings, Inc. v. South Coast Air District, S177823
In an challenge to South Coast Air District's 2002 amendments to its Rule 1113, which limits certain pollution-causing substances in paints and coatings, the Court of Appeals' judgment is reversed where: 1) the relevant statutes give the District the authority to promulgate pollution standards based on technologies that do not currently exist but are reasonably anticipated to exist by the compliance deadline; and 2) the District sufficiently demonstrated that its challenged emissions limits were achievable in each category and that the categories were reasonably drawn.
