"In a resounding win for EPA, a federal court today upheld a contentious Obama-era rule aimed at protecting fish and other aquatic life endangered by water intakes of power plants and other industrial facilities.
The three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments by both environmentalists and industry groups, finding that the rule and an associated species study were based on "reasonable interpretations of the applicable statutes and sufficiently supported by the factual record."
The 2nd Circuit also found EPA followed proper rulemaking procedures. Judge Raymond Lohier wrote the 74-page opinion for the court."
