Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

In accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Sierra Club v. Wheeler, No. 2:20-cv-00725-SMB (D. AZ). On April 14, 2020, the Sierra Club filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to perform certain non-discretionary duties. Plaintiff alleges that EPA failed to take final action to approve, disapprove, conditionally approve, or approve in part and disapprove in part, Arizona's nonattainment plan SIP submission for the West Pinal nonattainment area for the PM 10 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The proposed consent decree would establish a deadline for EPA to take action on the remaining portions of the SIP submission.
