Congress Weighs 180-Day Deadline for EPA Carbon Storage Permits
Original: Congress Weighs 180-Day Mandate For EPA Primacy Decisions As Class VI Backlog Mounts
Lawmakers are considering legislation that would require the Environmental Protection Agency to decide on requests for Class VI primacy — state authority to permit carbon dioxide injection wells — within 180 days. The move responds to a growing backlog of applications, which industry and state officials say is slowing carbon capture and storage projects across the United States.
Why now: The EPA's slow processing of Class VI primacy applications is delaying carbon storage projects, prompting congressional action.
