New York Supreme Court Ruling on Greenidge Generation Highlights Key Legal Boundaries in Environmental Regulation On Nov. 14, 2024, the New York Supreme Court issued a significant ruling in Greenidge Generation v. NYS DEC, affirming the DEC's authority to deny permits based on greenhouse gas emissions under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). However, the court found procedural errors in the DEC’s denial of Greenidge Generation’s Title V Air Permit, citing a lack of required justification analysis under CLCPA Section 7(2). The ruling highlights that while regulatory agencies can enforce strict emissions standards, they must also adhere to procedural requirements. This case serves as a reminder for businesses to ensure robust compliance and procedural adherence in environmental permitting. #EnvironmentalLaw #GreenEnergy #CLCPA #RegulatoryCompliance #ClimateChange
