The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was within its authority to reject an Oklahoma state pollution-control plan for the coal-burning plants, near Pawnee and Muskogee, and instead impose a more stringent plan. The EPA contends it has a duty to impose its plan because the Oklahoma state plan did not meet federal standards to adequately control emissions. The Sierra Club, which was allowed to intervene in the case, contends that the level of emissions from the coal-burning plants, near Pawnee and Muskogee, put public health at risk. tulsaworld/article.aspx/Judges_uphold_EPA_plan_to_reduce_pollutants_at_two/20130720_11_A1_DNEpip285033
