The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) submitted a legal petition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on February 11, 2025, under the Toxic Substances Control Act. See Link for details. It includes links to download the full petition and its appendices.
This petition sets out the facts establishing why the EPA must establish regulations to prohibit the use of HF in domestic oil refining to eliminate the unreasonable risks that this use presents to public health and the environment. They filed the petition with their partners: Clean Air Council and Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), groups dedicated to protecting people from pollution in the Mid-Atlantic and California, respectively.
We expect at least one representative from CBE to attend our Saturday Event, and talk more about this.
