EPA Allows Humboldt Sawmill Air Permit to Stand

## Summary

The EPA has decided not to block the air pollution permit for Humboldt Redwood Company’s sawmill and power plant in California. This means the company can keep operating under the current rules, and groups that wanted changes have until August 24, 2026, to ask a court to review the decision. No new costs or changes to the permit are happening right now.

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an order dated May 5, 2026, denying a petition dated January 1, 2025, from the Environmental Protection Information Center and the Humboldt Coalition for Clean Energy. The Petition requested that the EPA object to a Clean Air Act (CAA) title V operating permit issued by the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District (NCUAQMD) to Humboldt Redwood Company, LLC, sawmill ("HRC facility") for its lumber manufacturing and electric generating facility located in Humboldt County, California.
