House Committee: EPA Overstepped Its Authority

Despite the absence of administrators from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Republicans and Democrats on the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Oversight sparred today over the EPA’s January 2011 retroactive withdrawal of a permit issued to the Spruce Coal Mine in Logan County,West
Virginia. In March 2012, a Federal District Court rejected the EPA’s action stating that the EPA had overstepped its authority and resorted to, “magical thinking” in its attempts to apply the Clean Water Act as a means to revoke the permit.
