MADISON - Two environmental groups have filed a lawsuit accusing the state Department of Natural Resources of failing to update the state's air quality standards to reflect tighter federal restrictions.
The Midwest Environmental Defense Center, Inc., and Clean Wisconsin filed the lawsuit Thursday in Dane County Circuit Court.
They allege that the DNR hasn't promulgated rules updating the state's air standards to reflect tighter restrictions the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set for sulfur dioxide and smog-forming nitrogen oxide in 2010 and for fine particulate matter in 2012.
