Regulators weigh tower impact on historic site near power plant
Regulators say Duke and Dynegy cooling towers may affect the St. s Episcopal Church area as regulators review a Dynegy pact described as a peaking facility. Discussions include a catalytic converter to cut emissions and the need for pollution offsets before operation. Independent analyses show emissions from Cecil County and Duke plants could yield similar total pollution. Offsets may require 120 percent of permitted releases, with brokers and local bidders considered for cleaner tech.
