Ethanol Producer Challenged California’s Readopted Low Carbon Fuel Standard. An ethanol producer and a California resident filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court challenging the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) re-adopted low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) regulation and related alternative diesel fuel regulations. The petitioners alleged that CARB failed to comply with its obligations under CEQA or with the terms of a peremptory writ of mandate issued by the California Superior Court in 2014 that ordered CARB to consider its 2009 LCFS regulation’s potential adverse environmental effects of emissions of nitrogen oxides. The petitioners asserted a number of substantive CEQA violations. The petitioners also contended that CARB had failed to respond adequately to numerous environmental comments or to maintain a public rulemaking file, and that CARB had not complied with California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
