Court Grants Summary Judgment To EPA In Lawsuit Against Its COVID-19 Non-Enforcement Policy
5 hours ago
The Southern District of New York in a judgment filed on Thursday granted the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) motion for summary judgment, denying the plaintiffs requested relief for allegations that suspended reporting requirements and non-enforcement policies during the COVID-19 pandemic caused environmental harm and breached the Endangered Species Act. The court ruled they did not have standing. 
The plaintiffs, conservation advocacy groups including Riverkeeper, Waterkeeper Alliance Inc., and Center for Biological Diversity, argued in their complaint filed in August 2020 that the EPA was creating additional risks for species which are already in danger by suspending monitoring and reporting requirements, and endangering habitats.
