The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality has rescheduled tomorrow’s public hearing on a proposed water quality permit for the Asheville Steam Electric Plant.
The State Water Infrastructure Authority, or SWIA, will meet at 9:00 a.m. Jan. 21, 2016 at the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, located at 4021 Carya Drive in Raleigh, N.C. The meeting is open to the public.
The meeting agenda includes:
Businesses that account for less than 1 percent of statewide emissions from factories and other industry will no longer need air quality permits under a proposal passed today by the Environmental Management Commission.
In a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Secretary Donald R. van der Vaart told the federal agency it was wrong in its suggestion that citizen groups cannot challenge in court environmental permits issued by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
