EPA Sues Diesel Engine Manufacturer for Clean Air Act Violations: U.S. v. Coltec Industries Inc.

Found an interesting case recently relating to Fairbanks Morse diesel engines on several Navy ships.

Coltec Industries, et al . The government alleges that pursuant to the Clean Air Act and regulations implemented thereunder, non-railroad diesel engines required certification that the engines met certain pollution standards.

I'll follow the litigation and post pleadings as they become available.
