Environmental Review of the Air Pollution Control Project at the Dickerson Generating Station

摘要

The Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC on 19 July 2007 to modify the Dickerson Generating Station in Montgomery County, MD. The proposed modifications include a wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2), a new water treatment system, and associated enhancements. The project was proposed in response to Maryland's Healthy Air Act legislation, which requires sleep reductions in nitrogen oxides (NO(sub x)), SO(sub 2), and mercury emissions for all cost-fired electric generating units in the state.
