JANUARY 3, 2019

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra led a coalition of nine attorneys general in submitting comments strongly opposing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule allowing states to delay developing compliance plans for 2016 Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. State plans were originally due on May 30, 2017; the EPA’s proposed rule would extend the states’ deadline until August 29, 2019.
