NPCA Challenges Court Decision Affirming South Coast VOC Rule
WASHINGTON - The National Paint & Coatings Association has appealed a court decision upholding coatings-VOC limits imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SC AQMD). The VOC limits being challenged are scheduled to go into effect this year and in 2006.
In its appeal to the California Court of Appeals, the NPCA says the SCAQMD "ignored evidence" that many of the new VOC limits on architectural and industrial maintenance coatings "are not technologically feasible."
