The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to roll back federal coal ash cleanup rules, raising concerns about groundwater contamination at dozens of coal plants and waste dumps across the Mountain West.

A coalition of environmental groups is suing the Environmental Protection Agency, alleging the agency missed a key deadline tied to a stricter national standard for soot pollution. The case could affect air quality protections across the Mountain West.

A new rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency aims to reduce pollution from coal-burning power plants and factories in nearly two dozen states. That’s to improve the air quality for people living downwind – an issue in the Mountain West.

A new report reveals that 91% of the nation’s coal plants are heavily contaminating groundwater, and some of the most polluted sites are in the Mountain West.

The judges found EPA permits in Idaho factory farms didn’t require enough monitoring of waste, and could lead to manure in waterways.

A group of chemicals called PFAS are common in many household items, and potentially causing health problems. Monday, the EPA included them in the draft of its latest list of water contaminants, setting the groundwork for potential regulation.

The EPA is finalizing a rule that says it’ll prioritize science that publishes raw data to make policy decisions.
