Loftis reports:
The EPA on Wednesday struck down a Texas air-pollution program that has let thousands of companies bypass rigorous reviews under the Clean Air Act.
The EPA is expected to declare illegal a permitting system that governs some of Texas' biggest industrial plants - mostly on the Gulf Coast, but some in North Texas.Texas companies that have been operating under the state's qualified facilities program, mostly small to midsize businesses, do not have to meet new rules, shut down or apply for new permits because of the ruling, said Al Armendariz, regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
