Summer School: Clean Air

Co-sponsored by:
The Environmental Law Institute &
DC Bar’s Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Section

Each summer the ELI Summer School holds a series of seminars about the legal foundations of environmental protection in the United States. The series begins with an afternoon careers seminar and networking event, and continues with weekly lunchtime seminars that are taught by experts working in major arenas of environmental law and policy: air, water, land use, hazardous sites/substances, products, and climate change.

The Clean Air session is an introduction to the major themes of the Act, including air quality planning and stationary source permitting. The session touched on the state implementation planning process, new source review and new source performance standards permitting, as well as the Acid Rain Program and federal operating permit program.
