Air Quality & Emissions

The power plant will meet EPA’s Best Available Control Technology (BACT) standards, ensuring minimal emissions.
The plant’s 180-foot stacks will release emissions at high altitudes, allowing for quick dilution and minimal local exposure.
AERMOD modeling shows that pollutants disperse rapidly, ensuring no significant ground-level impact.
NOx levels at the plant’s fence line will be lower than those in urban areas with heavy traffic.
Living near the power plant will be cleaner than standing near a school bus drop-off, backyard barbecue, or busy gas station in terms of air quality.
