LETART FALLS Several environmental diet online phentermine pill have joined forces to oppose approval of a permit for a new coal fired power plant in Meigs County under development by American Municipal Power Ohio. AMP Ohio filed the application earlier this year for a 1,000 megawatt power generating plant as the first of several needed permits for the facility, which the company claims will use the best available technology to meet clean air requirements. The company says building the power plant will generate between 600 to 800 construction jobs and another 150 permanent positions in job starved Southeastern Ohio. The proposed plant would be built in Letart Twp. near the Ohio River, and possibly could begin operations as soon as 2012. But during a telephone conference held Monday, representatives of various environmental diet online phentermine pill disputed the company's claim that the newest and cleanest technology will be used. They claim the company's proposal does not follow state and federal regulations and would release significant amounts of pollutants. "The draft permit undermines AMP's claim that the coal plant it is proposing is somehow 'clean.' We have significant problems with both the proposal and the draft permit," said Shannon Fisk, staff attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. The council joined forces with the Ohio Environmental Council, Ohio Citizen Action and the Sierra Club on Friday to file comments with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency opposing the air permit request. Fisk claimed that according to the draft permit, the proposed plant would burn at least 2.8 million tons of coal per year, releasing as much as 7,000 tons of sulfur dioxide annually. Tons of additional pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, lead, mercury and other pollutants, also would be created by the plant, he said. The environmental diet online phentermine pill asked the EPA to either outright deny the permit, or require the company to include more stringent emissions and waste production limits, Fisk said. Otherwise, the power plant's emissions could jeopardize the health of area residents and wreak damage on the area environment, among other problems, asserted Trent Dougherty of the Ohio Environmental Council. "This area needs good jobs, but it also needs a viable work force as well," Dougherty said Monday. "This plant will hang another toxic millstone around the Ohio Valley's neck." Both Dougherty and Fisk claimed that American Municipal Power used information and data nearly seven years old in designing the plant and for the air permit request. "AMP selected the worst option possible. We need to avoid carbon dioxide as much as possible," Fisk said. American Electric Power, in its proposal for a new power plant in the region, utilized more modern technology in its proposal, which the Ohio Environmental Council supports, Fisk said. According to information released by American Municipal Power this summer, its proposed Meigs County facility would utilize pulverized coal and "incorporate the best of the latest generation of available and proven emission control technology" to ensure that it meets or exceeds all environmental regulations and emissions limitation requirements. "Once online, it will be one of the cleanest facilities of its type in the nation," the company states in a news release on its Web site. "The (project) is being designed from the ground up to minimize air emissions impacts and maximize efficiencies," AMP Ohio President/CEO Marc Gerken stated in this summer's announcement. "No reasonable comparisons to existing generating facilities in the region are possible because they are older facilities with different design and operating characteristics." Kent Carson, director of communications with the company, on Monday reiterated those statements and said that AMP Ohio is confident that its technology proposed for the facility is state of the art. "The plant will be vastly cleaner than any other operating in Ohio" and one of the cleanest in the country, Carson said. He noted that federal clean air regulations are stringent, and the company designed the Meigs facility with those rules in mind and meet those rules. "This is one of the first plants to be built with those limits, which include limits on mercury," Carson said. "We would expect environment diet online phentermine pill to be concerned and have questions." Fisk said that Meigs County has the highest number of power plants and some of the highest cancer rates per capita. However, while people in the region may desperately seek jobs, they don't need jobs at the expense of more pollution, he said. "We try to convince people in that area of the concept that you can have it both ways by using the cleanest technology as possible," Fisk said. "We do want jobs and economic development in Southeastern Ohio, but Southeastern Ohio shouldn't be burdened by AMP's choice." Fisk added that AMP could be a leader in the country by using more energy efficient and cleaner technology at its proposed Meigs County facility, thus creating jobs and economic development. "There are significant jobs available in other types of power production. The state should invest in renewable energy jobs in that area," he said. In reply, Carson said that American Municipal Power is a leader in the country in developing renewable energy sources. For example, it operates a wind farm in Wood County near Bowling Green that produces 7.2 megawatts of power, and may be expanded an additional 50 megawatts. The company also operates a hydro electric facility on the Ohio River near Bellville, and is developing three more along the river, including another one in Ohio, Carson said. ... diet online phentermine pill
