Hoosier Energy reaches feds' 20th settlement regarding alleged NSR violations

摘要

Hoosier Energy has agreed to install state-of-the-art pollution control technology at its two coal-fired power plants in Indiana, the U.S. Justice Department and Environmental Protection Agency revealed July 23. The utility said it would maintain flexibility in operating its generating stations to produce reliable power for member electric cooperatives and their consumer-owners. The settlement, filed in federal court the same day, will reduce emissions by more than 24,500 tons per year, and it requires Hoosier to pay a civil penalty of 950,000 dollars and spend 5 million dollars on environmental mitigation projects, according to the feds.
