No(s). 04-1196 (D.C. Cir. Nov 18, 2005)

The court dismisses a petition challenging a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule allowing the director of an approved state landfill to grant variances from EPA criteria for sanitary landfills. The environmental group challenging the rule lacks associational standing because none of its members is injured or is about to be injured by the rule.
