EPA Deadlines Ignored in Gary Pollution Case

Environmental groups sue the EPA over its failure to respond to a petition challenging the renewal of a toxic air permit for U.S. Steel’s Gary Works facility, arguing the agency missed a 60-day deadline under the Clean Air Act. The lawsuit doesn’t question the permit’s validity but demands the EPA act — pushing for real-time pollution monitoring, stricter enforcement, and better public health protections for a community that’s endured decades of industrial pollution. While U.S. Steel says it’s not involved and maintains strong compliance records, activists insist emissions continue to harm residents’ health.
