Air
Transport Association of America v. TNRCC
In this suit the Association seeks to prevent the TNRCC from
requiring emissions reductions from ground-support equipment at
the four airports in the D/FW area.
|
Cemex USA
and Texas Industries, Inc. v. TNRCC
This case challenges the TNRCC's rule requiring reductions in
NOx emissions from cement kilns in the eastern and central
portions of Texas.
|
Engine
Manufacturers Association v. TNRCC
The suit attacks the agency rule affecting ground-support
equipment, as well as the accelerated purchase rule and the
proposed ban on early morning construction. |
TXU
Electric v. TNRCC [two suits]
One case challenges the TNRCC's regional utility rule, which
requires electric generating facilities to reduce NOx emissions
by 50 percent across much of east Texas.
The other suit seeks to invalidate the Dallas-Fort Worth utility
rule, which would require NOx reductions from electric utility
boilers in the four county non-attainment area (a reduction of
about 88 percent). |
Solid Waste
Association of North America, Allied waste Systems (Trinity
Waste Services), BFI Waste Systems of North America, Inc., and
the cities of Garland and Grand Prairie v. TNRCC
These plaintiffs seek to enjoin the TNRCC's accelerated purchase
rule and early morning construction ban. |
