Supreme Court Takes On EPA’s ‘We’ll Tell You Later’ Refusal To Define Water Pollution Standards

Imagine that a federal agency threatened to fine a local government for excessive pollution without revealing to that or any other state or local government what standard they needed to meet to avoid running afoul of the law?
It would be like having a speed limit sign posted on the road without telling drivers how fast or slow they could drive.
Yet that is exactly what the ever-repugnant Environmental Protection Agency has done with a waste water discharge petition rule, which doesn’t tell localities what is actually a legally allowed level of pollutants.
Incredibly, it is the City and County of San Francisco, California that is challenging the rule for failure to provide specifics so they know how to comply, and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case.
