The Supreme Court has refused to block a Biden administration rule aimed at preventing legacy toxic waste from closed coal plants from seeping into and contaminating nearby groundwater.
In a brief order, the court denied an emergency request from the East Kentucky Power Cooperative to temporarily halt the rule while ongoing litigation challenging it is resolved, The Hill reported.
The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for its decision to reject the power cooperative’s petition, and no dissents were noted, the outlet said.
