Mackenzie Moyer Co-Authors Environmental Alert
On October 2, 2025, the EPA published a Proposed Rule and a companion Direct Final Rule to extend certain compliance deadlines for effluent limitations guidelines for the Steam-Electric Power Generating point source category in the Federal Register. EPA states that the proposal seeks to advance the goals of the Trump administration’s Unleashing American Energy Executive Orders and provide reliable energy as demand increases due to the rise of AI and data centers. The comment periods on Proposed Rule and Direct Final Rule close on November 3, 2025. Additionally, EPA is hosting a webinar on the rule package on October 14, 2025. Babst Calland attorneys continue to track these developments and are available to assist with CWA-related matters.
