Indiana decision insulates firm from new federal rules"


"Lawyers for the city of Chicago, state of Illinois and environmental groups are asking an Indiana environmental judge to overturn the ruling. They contend that BP should be forced to prove its emissions of particulate matter, commonly known as soot, won't worsen the region's dirty air problems.

"The company argued that continuing to meet existing soot limits "is neither technically nor economically feasible."
Indiana regulators agreed with BP that cutting the Whiting refinery's emissions would pose "an extreme hardship" on the oil company.
Federal environmental regulators, who must sign off before the Indiana ruling takes effect, also are questioning the decision."
