If they have had this process for decades it's not new though, the information about the harms is new. You could argue the EPA doesn't have enough power when something is provably toxic but this ruling isn't surprising, especially when it would create significant case law
All you have to do is lie about producing toxic chemicals for as long as possible. Checkmate epa!

The Section 5 states that it has to be "new chemical substance or significant new uses of a chemical substance". But since neither "new" or "significant new use" is defined, the court chosen the definition that suited their preferred outcome.
All of these definitions are valid. So if the court wanted to avoid creating significant case law, they should have rejected the first argument as not significant and moved to the other arguments. It was a typical decision where the count had an outcome they wanted and then looked for the reasons to justify it instead of looking at the case blindly as they should.
