Each summer, ELI convenes a complimentary seminar series that offers an introduction to the legal and policy foundations of environmental protection in the United States. ELI's Summer School is a series of seminars taught by experts in their fields, introducing the audience to important areas of environmental law. Faculty will also incorporate major regulatory and judicial updates to the laws.
Basics of the Clean Air Act
Originally enacted in 1963, the Clean Air Act (CAA) is the primary federal law regulating air emissions from stationary and mobile sources. It has major impacts on the environment, human health, and the economy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets and frequently updates regulations under the CAA, several of which are challenged in court. A notable example of this from 2022 is West Virginia v. EPA, which addressed EPA’s authority under the CAA to set power plant emissions limits based on generation shifting.
As regulations under the CAA continue to be at the center of developments in environmental law, this session will explore both the foundations and some real-world examples of the CAA. Our expert faculty will dive into:
- permitting programs;
- air quality planning regulations;
- standards for major sources, area sources, and mobile sources; and
- major recent developments, including regulation of greenhouse gases under the Biden Administration.
