The Environmental Protection Agency must take a close look at the effects on endangered species of its 2018 rule setting renewable fuel targets, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday in a decision that was a victory for environmental groups. The court kept the rule in place but remanded it to EPA in order to determine effects on threatened and endangered species. “EPA concluded that it is impossible to know whether the 2018 rule will affect listed species or critical habitat,” the court said. “That is not the same as determining that the 2018 Rule ‘will not’ affect them.” (Agri-Pulse)
