United States Ninth Circuit
Helping Hand Tools v. US Environmental Protection Agency, 14-72553
In an environmental action, the petition for review challenging the EPA's grant of a prevention of significant deterioration permit to Sierra Pacific Industries, in order to construct a new biomass-burning power plant at a California lumber mill, is denied where defendant agency did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in granting the permit and reasonably concluded the solar or natural gas would disrupt the biomass waste disposal component of the plan.
