When #EPA took the extraordinary step this year of killing its own authority to regulate greenhouse gases, it made a simple argument: The Clean Air Act doesn’t allow it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/c...

EPA, developer defend records over contentious WA beach development Western Australia's environmental watchdog and a prominent Perth property developer have defended the sign-off of a contentious tourism development in the state's South West amid growing criticism of the decision. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) recommended the $280 million development at Smiths Beach, near Yallingup and about 265 kilometres south of Perth, for approval last month, despite community concerns. The project, backed by Perth property developer Adrian Fini, will be subject to several conditions limiting its environmental impact. The City of Busselton has since lodged a scathing appeal against the project, arguing the EPA had allowed the developer to understate the impact on the natural and visual environment of Smiths Beach the development would have. "This appeal is based on departures by the EPA from its own objectives and functions, and its failure to have proper regard to the Statement of Environmental Principles," Busselton Chief Executive Garry Hunt wrote in the publicly released letter. The city has since been joined by the Conservation Council, which offered similar criticism of the watchdog's methods. Critics have also taken aim at authority members' links to developers, with chair Darren Walsh, deputy chair Jane Bennett and members David Caddy and Hamish Beck all declaring...

EPA releases record Renewable Fuel Standard updates The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) “Set 2” rule, setting renewable fuel volume requirements for 2026 and 2027 at the highest levels in the program’s history. To meet the historic 2026 and 2027 volume levels, EPA estimates that biodiesel and renewable diesel production and use will need to increase by over 60 percent compared to 2025 volumes. This in particular will drive renewed demand for American soybean producers. With the benefits “Set 2” will bring to America’s farmers, EPA estimates that the rule will generate over $10 billion for rural economies and create over 100,000 new jobs in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. To provide continued certainty for American corn growers and ethanol producers, EPA will maintain the 15 billion conventional biofuel level for 2026 and 2027. In response to the announcement, Ohio farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower, who was present at the White House for the event, said the rule provides needed certainty for corn producers. “Our deep thanks goes to President Trump and Administrator Zeldin for releasing these robust RVO numbers in an exceptionally timely manner and, appropriately, during an event honoring America’s farmers,” Bower said. “This...

EPA issues emergency E15 waiver Corn growers and ethanol refiners praised the March 25 announcement by Lee Zeldin, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, that EPA is granting an emergency fuel waiver to allow E15 (i.e., gasoline with 15% ethanol added) to be used during summer driving. He also removed all federal impediments to selling E10, gasoline blended with 10% ethanol, across the country. Corn growers and ethanol refiners have urged the moves, which environmentalists have resisted because ethanol is more volatile in summer heat. “As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA and DOE evaluated the current situation and determined that granting the waiver was in the public interest,” the EPA said on its website. Only Congress; however, can make year-round E15 permanent. The moves also come at a time of increase pressure on oil and gas prices due to the conflict with Iran. “EPA is working with our federal partners to reduce unnecessary costs and uncertainty and ensure that gas prices remain affordable for all Americans through the summer. This emergency action will provide American families with relief by increasing fuel supply and consumer choice,” Zeldin said. “President Trump has prioritized ensuring American families have an affordable domestic energy supply.” Justifiable waiver The...

EPA Announces $610 Million Loan to Provide a Reliable Source of Drinking Water to ... WASHINGTON – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a $610 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to the Grand Prairie Water Commission, which serves six communities in northeastern Illinois. This loan will transition almost 300,000 residents to Lake Michigan—a more reliable source of drinking water—from a declining groundwater aquifer. “No American should worry about the reliability of their drinking water,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Water Jess Kramer. “We are pleased that Grand Prairie Water Commission will use this investment to ensure its water customers have a stable and reliable source of drinking water for current and future generations.” The Grand Prairie Water Commission is made up of six member communities including the Cities of Crest Hill and Joliet and the Villages of Channahon, Minooka, Shorewood, and Romeoville. The Water Commission member communities currently rely on a declining groundwater aquifer as their primary source of drinking water. EPA’s WIFIA financing will support the Commission’s Alternative Water Source Program. With this loan, the commission will construct a 62-mile regional water transmission network and upgrade other water infrastructure and systems. This project will enable these communities to transition from their primary source, a declining groundwater aquifer, to Lake Michigan’s...

EPA Finalizes Historic New Renewable Fuel Standards to Strengthen American Energy ... March 27, 2026 WASHINGTON – Today at the White House Great American Agriculture Celebration, President Trump announced that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized the historic Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) “Set 2” final rule. The final rule realigns the program with Congress’ original intent—increasing the use of homegrown American biofuels—putting American farmers first and promoting American energy independence. In the 20th year of the RFS program, “Set 2” establishes the renewable fuel volume requirements for 2026 and 2027 at the highest levels in program history. EPA’s final rule demonstrates the Trump administration’s ongoing commitment to America’s farmers and unleashing American energy by reducing America’s reliance on foreign oil, delivering long-term certainty and stability for America’s farmers and biofuel producers, and ultimately creating a path for rural economies to boom. “President Trump promised a Golden Age of American agriculture. Once again, his administration is delivering. Overall, ‘Set 2’ creates a larger, more stable, and more reliable domestic market for U.S. crops, strengthening farm income and rural economies,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. “For 20 years, this program has diversified our nation’s energy supply and advanced American energy independence. EPA is proud to deliver on this mission and to do so...

EPA Invites Public Feedback on Key Tool that Supports Water Affordability, Strengthens ... WASHINGTON — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public input on its Clean Water Act Financial Capability Assessment (FCA) guidance. This non-regulatory guidance is an important resource that helps local water bills remain affordable as wastewater systems plan for needed infrastructure upgrades, including for their collection systems, pumps, and treatment plants. Using public feedback, EPA will consider updating the agency’s guidance to better reflect ratepayers’ ability to support infrastructure upgrades, potential impacts on rural and small communities, and other related topics. “A priority for EPA’s Office of Water is practical implementation of Clean Water Act requirements that keep water bills affordable for American families. This is especially important for rural communities where small systems face real challenges financing water infrastructure upgrades,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Water Jess Kramer. “This guidance document aims to address the balancing act necessary to ensure all Americans have safe and clean water without undue financial hardship on already stressed families.” Financial capability is one of many factors EPA considers when evaluating schedules for implementing long-term Clean Water Act control plans. The guidance provides information on how to assess a community’s financial capability as part of negotiating implementation schedules under both permits and enforcement...

Water Quality Certification for Ditch-Related Activities in Colorado within Indian Country and ... - EPA March 26, 2026 Summary The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a request from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 water quality certification (WQC) for Regional General Permit (RGP) 5, “Ditch-Related Activities in Colorado” (SPA-2026-00092), under CWA section 404 and section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act requires applicants for Federal permits and licenses that may result in any discharge into waters of the United States to obtain certification or waiver from the certifying authority where the discharge would originate. EPA acts as the certifying authority in areas of Indian country[1] for which Tribes have not been authorized for treatment in a similar manner as a state (TAS) for Section 401. In this case, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe has authority to provide CWA section 401 certification for discharges occurring within any lands on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation that are held in trust for the Tribe by the United States, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe has that authority for discharges occurring within all lands on its Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in Colorado. However, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe does...

'He Has Betrayed the Agency': More than 160 Environmental Groups Call For Firing of EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin “[The Environmental Protection Agency’s] foremost purpose is to protect human health and the environment. With Administrator Lee Zeldin at the helm, EPA has abandoned its mission, creating damage that will take decades to address,” the open letter, signed by more than 160 US-based environmental and health groups, read. — The US Environmental Protection Agency‘s Administrator Lee Zeldin has “betrayed” the agency’s core mission and set a “dangerous” agenda that is hurting public health and the environment, according to an open letter calling for Zeldin’s firing. The letter, signed by 163 local and national environmental and health organizations, says Zeldin must be held accountable for his actions. Since taking office in January 2025 following Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Zeldin has taken significant and often controversial steps that go against the agency’s stated mission to “protect human health and the environment,” the letter said. “No EPA administrator in history—Democratic or Republican—has so brazenly betrayed the agency’s core mission.

EPA Proposes to Extend Compliance Dates for PCE and CTC TSCA Risk Management Rules The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on March 24, 2026, that it will propose to extend certain compliance dates in the December 2024 final risk management rules for perchloroethylene (PCE) and carbon tetrachloride (CTC) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). According to EPA, it continues to revise the final rules “to ensure they are practical and implementable to protect human health and the environment and maintain uses that power the U.S. economy.” Until EPA issues a final rule extending the compliance dates, the current deadlines remain effective. EPA notes that it intends to focus its resources on compliance with the new compliance dates that will be established by this rulemaking. EPA states that “[c]onsistent with the March 12, 2025, memo entitled ‘Implementing National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives Consistently with Executive Orders and Agency Priorities,’ concurrence from the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance or his/her delegee shall be sought before any enforcement or compliance assurance actions regarding elements of this rule subject to reconsideration are taken.” Publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register will begin a 30-day public comment period. EPA has posted a pre-publication version of the proposed rule. Background As...

As Prices Soar, EPA Greenlights Higher Ethanol Blends in Gasoline The Trump administration handed farmers and the ethanol industry a win on Wednesday by issuing a waiver that will allow the use of higher corn-based ethanol blends in gas tanks this summer. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin made the announcement at CERAWeek, a major energy conference in Texas, saying it furthered the administration’s goal of creating “American energy dominance” and will give consumers relief from soaring gas prices. Critics question whether the waiver will do either. The announcement comes as rising gas prices linked to the conflict in Iran are becoming a political crisis for President Donald Trump and as he appears to be losing the support of farmers, a key constituency that twice helped usher him to the White House. “President Trump has prioritized ensuring American families have an affordable domestic energy supply,” Zeldin said in his speech. “The Trump administration has made great strides on this during the first year and will continue to do so.” The waiver was announced days before the expected release of long-anticipated increases to biofuels blending requirements that will have major consequences for energy and farm policy across the country—and, critics say, damaging consequences for the climate. The biofuel and agriculture industry...
