Dallas-Fort Worth air pollution could be affected by oil and gas drilling lawsuits
By MIKE LEETwo Colorado environmental groups have sued the Environmental Protection Agency, asking a court to force the agency to reduce the amount of pollution from oil and gas drilling.
The suit, filed Jan. 14 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on behalf of WildEarth Guardians and the San Juan Citizens Alliance, asks a federal judge to force the EPA to carry out three sections of the Clean Air Act.
If the groups prevail, the suit could have a big impact not just on the oil and gas industry, but also on Dallas-Fort Worth’s air pollution.
