Subject File, 1831-1997 (continued)
BOX 152-175 Clean Air Act Litigation, New York, N.Y. (Field F), 1916-1989
Files relating to a series of cases filed by Hoppen in federal court under the Clean Air Act on behalf of the Council of Commuter Organizations. Included are case files, correspondence, reports, memoranda, notes, news clippings, and other printed matter. The lawsuits called for the full and prompt implementation of New York’s State Implementation Plan. The plan was written in 1979 to comply with requirements under the Moynihan-Holtzman amendment to the Clean Air Act that aimed at reducing pollution through improved public transit. The original complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1980 against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, was dismissed, a judgment upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1982. Hoppen refiled in federal court in 1982. Companion cases were also filed by him against the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The subseries features case files containing complaints, memoranda, motions, briefs, affidavits, interrogatories, and exhibits, among other material.

A large alphabetical file contains additional material generated during the cases as well as background material on the Council of Commuter Organizations, the relevant government agencies, New York’s 1979 State Implementation Plan, environmental impact assessments, efforts to improve public transit services, fare increases, transportation funding, air quality data, legal precedents, and related lawsuits filed by others, among other topics.
Arranged according to an inventory created by Hoppen. Litigation files are organized by legal case preceded by a correspondence file that spans the cases. The alphabetical file is arranged alphabetically by name of person, organization or agency, type of material, case name, or topic.
