EPA pulls permit from New Jersey offshore wind project
After Trump issued an executive order to pause offshore wind, the EPA pulled Atlantic Shores’ air permit. The company argues the permit was final and not up for review.
SUSAN PHILLIPS / WHYY – In another blow to New Jersey’s nascent offshore wind industry, the Environmental Protection Agency has pulled a Clean Air Act permit for the Atlantic Shores project, citing President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day executive order hitting the pause button on offshore wind. In “remanding” the permit, construction on the project cannot begin without additional review and approval by the agency.
