The Biden administration is already facing a potential legal roadblock to newly finalized regulations cracking down on the chemical industry, which critics say will have a devastating impact on the economy. Synthetics manufacturer Denka Performance Elastomer warned Tuesday that it is planning to sue the Environmental Protection Agency over the rules targeting hundreds of chemical plants over their emissions.
The company stated that EPA's 'draconian' compliance deadline would force the company to idle its operations at 'tremendous expense and risk to its hundreds of dedicated employees.' 'We will therefore be pursuing legal challenges to extend the compliance period, to return the state’s authority to grant extensions, and to challenge the rule,' DPE said.
Earthjustice, a leading environmental activist group, said EPA's announcement is a victory in the 'pursuit for environmental justice' and called for rigorous enforcement of the rules.
Unless the Biden administration takes a different approach to how it creates and implements regulations, the availability of critical chemistries will dwindle – and the country’s climate, infrastructure, and supply chain priorities will suffer as well,' the American Chemistry Council said. The EPA didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
