U.S. Announces $60.7 Million Clean Air Act Settlement With Nevada Power
WASHINGTON, June 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department
of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
today announced a $60.7 million Clean Air Act settlement
with Nevada Power Company that will improve air quality in
the Clark County/Las Vegas, Nev. area by requiring the company
to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a harmful air
pollutant, from its Clark Generating Station by about 2,300
tons annually.
The settlement resolves the federal government's claims
that Nevada Power violated the New Source Review (NSR) provisions
of the Clean Air Act at its Clark Generating Station by
undertaking modifications of combustion turbines and increasing
emissions of NOx without installing the required air pollution controls. MORE
