( CENTRALIA ) – Plans are underway to
install $10 million worth of new pollution controlling equipment at the
TransAlta coal fired steam plant. The plant is being retrofitted for
new gear that reduces the amount of pollution that’s cited for creating
haze in national parks and wilderness areas. The project aims to cut
the amount of nitrogen oxide emissions from the Centralia area coal
burning plant. The project is part of the agreement that phases out the
local burning of coal. The new pollution gear is set to be installed
for operation by January.
