Wyandotte County officials and the Sierra Club settled allegations of excessive air pollution from the Quindaro and Nearman power plants. The Quindaro plant will stop coal use by April 16, 2015 and convert to natural gas, while Nearman must add controls to meet emissions limits by September 1, 2017. The county will spend 750000 on energy efficiency projects and create a community group to promote efficiency among EPA customers. The deal awaits federal judge approval and ends a 2012 notice of intent to sue.
