Judge Faults Illinois Coal-Fired Plant For 3,000 Opacity, Particulate Violations

摘要

A coal-fired power plant in central Illinois with a long history of air permit exceedances could be forced to close or overhaul its operations after a federal judge Aug. 23 granted summary judgment to environmental groups challenging the plant's compliance with state and federal clean air standards (Nat. Res. Def. Council v. III. Power Res., LLC, CD. 111., No. 13-cv-1181,8/23/16).
